[MUSIC] [HIGH SCHOOL] P. A. Bands '53-'54 de [PHILIPS ACADEMY] - 1954

Andover, Massachusetts: [Philips Academy], 1954. First Edition. Comb binding. Near fine. Oblong small quarto comb-bound album, 26pp. of photographs (with one image per leaf). Each photograph measures about 5" x 7". Photographs and album in excellent condition, overall near fine. A neat, whimsical 1954 memento album for the school band of Philips Academy (aka "Andover"). We were able to locate the yearbook from this period, which reproduces a few of the images seen here, so we imagine that several copies of this album were produced. The images depict members of the marching band at football games, in rehearsal, in interior performances, and a few "at ease." A charming snapshot of extracurricular life at Andover in the 1950s. We did not locate any other copies in libraries or offered in the trade, but presume one or two must be extant.
