June's Photo of the Month (2013.020.003) is not from Bossier Parish, but from San Francisco, California!
In 1957, the Bossier City Lions Club sponsored the Bossier High School marching band for a parade performance. This photo shows five people in costume carrying a banner that reads "LOUISIANA". A large crowd is gathered along the side of the street to watch the parade. People are also watching from balconies and windows of the multi-storied buildings. The Bossier High School band is in the top right corner of the photo, marching down the street.
I was a band member and have a photo of the entire concert band. Class of 1958 Jean Reeves Carraway
ReplyDeleteWe would love to have a copy of the concert band photo, Jean! If you're in the area, is it possible for you to stop by the History Center so we can make a copy?
