The names and instruments are written on the back of the photo in pencil and are very difficult to read. I called Marge Hough who served as president of the band that year and asked for her assistance with identifying the band members. Even though Marge could not see the actual photo, she helped me figure out the names that are written on the back (yes, she is that awesome!). Thanks Marge!
