A truly magnificent photograph...

I came across this photo:

The details read:

"NCWA Union Brigade Field Music, Ardenwood, CA, May 1999"

Is anyone familiar with this group of gentlemen?

I would be very interested in learning who the photographer was as well.

Remarkable work in every regard.

Hello,
It's very possible the photographer was William Dunnaway, who still does much period photography here in California, along with Wayne Pearce. Best regards.

Evening,

I do believe that this is some of Will's work. I'll drop a note to Marty Sampson who is one of folks in the image and check that.

Yeah, that's Will Dunniway's work. We're damn lucky to have him out here. He does all the majore images of my staff here at Old Oak Ranch. The unit is the California Consolidated Drum Band and are the only real functioning fife and drum unit in the state. I play with them every once in a while (not as often as I would like). They keep the art of fife and drum alive in CA. Jack Doyle, front row left, is a good buddy of mine. I'll let them know you liked the image.

The Drum Major appears to be, Casey Wohlfeil from the Southern Guard, and the second drummer from the right looks like, Andrew Endsley from the AOP.
