The marching band seen in this photograph is the Mighty Maroon Band from Mesquite High School in Mesquite, Texas, a suburb east of downtown Dallas. Although our uniforms had changed slightly by the 1990s, I too was a member of this band a few decades after this photograph was taken. - Stephen Fagin, Curator
