Description: Two black-and-white glossy photographs: .282a: Students wearing uniforms sit in chairs outside in a semi-circle with an aisle down the middle. The children are playing musical instruments (harmonicas?) while their instructor, who is wearing a suit, stands in front of them and conducts. They are in an open activities area, and a roof of a building at a lower elevation is visible. .282b: Students are on a stage inside a room with high ceilings. They are playing various instruments, which may be different types of harmonicas. There is a piano on stage with them, and their instructor sits on the stage and conducts. Off and to the right of the stage, a group of men in suits sits and listens to the performance. The number "66" is handwritten in blue ink in the top right of the picture. Reverse of both are blank.
