Military Band Formation on Parade Ground, Manila, Philippines, Early 20th Century
A uniformed military band stands in formation on a parade ground in Manila, Philippines, flanked by coconut palms and a colonial-era building, during the early American colonial period. Bands such as this provided music for ceremonies, parades, and morale-building events at U.S. military and constabulary posts throughout the islands in the early 20th century. Project: 218614
