A Grand Day Out in Thetford with Breckland Brass Band for 75th anniversary

A group of school students and adults pose indoors with brass instruments in what appears to be a music classroom or rehearsal space. In the front row, five students sit on chairs holding larger brass instruments such as baritones and euphoniums, with one very large tuba positioned on the far right. They are wearing school uniforms consisting of black blazers, white shirts, and purple ties.
