We were in a youth band, played at all the Elks, Moose lodges, talent shows etc. This particular outfit my mom made for my brother and I to do Alexanders rag time band. We actually took 2nd in a statewide talent show! My brother played sax and had a matching outfit.The best memories I have of those outings were the pot luck dinners at the Optimists club! Great fun
