Description
Photograph was edited for publication purposes
Photograph caption dated February 17, 1954 reads "Everybody gets in the act. Spirit of new idea in local orchestras is so catching that even directors of North Hollywood Park try their skill. Drummer Pat Delaney seems a bit overcome by tonal efforts of Joun Houk, trombone, and Merle Pearce, trumpet. 'We work with kids all the time and love it,' Pat says, 'but adults want recreation, too--and this is one way of getting it. They have a swell time--and so do we.'"; See images #00138566 through #00138569 for all photos in this series.
