There is an array of expressions that seem to be popular in these old photos. Examples would be the far-right guy, seated, and the far-left guy, rear row, standing. However, the guy front-row far-left, on the ground, knees drawn-up, his puss and posture seem unusual, considering the several photos of groups you have shared with us.

The band is an interesting group.
The instrumentation shows that any group of instruments can play and,probably, be entertaining.
The uniform seems to be a white shirt or so it seems in the photo, a tie and a hat of some kind.
I like it. Too bad we can;t hear it.

Yup, an interesting group and a few outliers of the usual...but then the sample number is low.....and I just like these local band RPPC's -- really capture a segment of life that existed then that has faded away............or maybe replaced by the local garage band of kids.

Plenty to like in both phenomena.

I would like to think so......

The building on the right reminds me of a couple neighborhoods I crafted for clients...
Wouldn't that one on the left have been fabulous to have found as an available kit!

I like the awning, too. They make nice extra-touches on models, too, as long as they are not over done, huh.

I like that corner bank - very distinctive style.

But you are also correct - building to the left is far more generic and would make a better choice as a kit.

I agree. I would not have gone with the bank but would either or both of the others.
Nothing wrong with tge bank and I do find it interesting but it would be too massive for my town(s).
Many of the smaller, older towns in the south still have and use buildings like that.

Yes, indeed, as in Homer, NY, where every inch is preserved nice and neat.

You sure that's not Homer, GA?
There is such a place.

I tried and tried, but I cannot discern what multiple-wheeled contraption is strapped to that horse.
