The parade features marching bands from around the state, including Savannah’s own H.V. Jenkins High School marching band, known as the “Marching Warriors.” Photographer Frank Stewart, who became familiar with Savannah while serving as an official photographer for the Savannah Music Festival, was drawn to the circular tuba in the rectangular format of the photograph, which takes on double-meaning as the marchers are physically located in a Savannah “square.” This is a proud portrait and documentation of community life within the city.
