A black-and-white photograph of soldiers performing at a United States Army show, by Platon. The photograph depicts seven soldiers performing on stage. These soldiers appear to be standing at attention with their arms at their sides and looking straight ahead of them. The photograph was taken from the perspective of stage level, looking upwards towards the soldiers. The soldiers are standing in three rows with two soldiers in the foreground, three in the middle row, and two in the background. The male and female soldiers in the left and right foreground are depicted wearing matching camouflage fatigues and body armor, as are the soldiers in the background. The set behind the soldiers in includes three steps leading up to a rectangular shaped decorative panel. Shining on the soldiers from the ceiling above them are several stage lights, but the rest of the ceiling is mostly in shadow. The photograph has a thick white border.
