Band Leading Students in Philadelphia Parade, 1887

A parade down Market Street in Philadelphia, with the school band leading a group of Carlisle students on floats in the distance, with crowds and buildings on both sides of the street. The photograph was probably taken on September 15, 1887 when the band and students marched in a parade in Philadelphia to commemorate the centennial of the adoption of the Constitution. Press reaction to the school's representation in the parade is quoted in The Indian Helper Vol. 3, No. 7, September 23, 1887.
