Photograph of thirteen men and boys in uniform posing in several rows holding musical instruments in front of a brick building. The men in the back row are standing and holding tubas, euphoniums, trombones and other brass instruments except for the young man on the far right who is standing with his arms folded. In front of them four men are sitting in chairs, the two in the front holding clarinets and the two behind them holding trumpets. In the front a young boy is sitting on the ground next to two plants holding a snare drum and on the right there is a bass drum with the words "Banda... de Brownsville" on it. Behind the men a porch is visible with several chairs and music stands on it in front of a brick building with several doors and windows. A handwritten text on the front of the photograph reads "Ebony Band W.O.W. Brownsville Texas Jun. 4/1911. Morales."
