What a difference 80 or so years make. As I was trolling Flickr for some interesting photos I\u00a0couldn’t help but notice\u00a0the poses that bands of the 1920s struck when it came to their band photos.<\/p>\n

Here is a quintessential band photo\u00a0of the early part of the 20th century. It was taken in 1927 of the Circle Six Orchestra<\/em>, of Deseronto, Ontario, Canada.<\/p>\n

This is what a newspaper clipping attached to the back of this photo said about this band:<\/p>\n

This popular orchestra is composed entirely of Deseronto boys and has been organized for the past five years. Since this photograph was taken the traps player, James McVicker, has added a set of temple blocks to his equipment. Reading from left to right the players are \u2013 Reginald Dawson, Roy Woodcock, Clayton John, James McVicker, Marshall Woodcock and Roy Kitchen (now a resident of Tweed).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Notice that the sax player\u2014Reginald Dawson\u2014is playing a Conn C melody with a straight neck.<\/p>\n

Now fast forward to the present day on the West Coast, and Vancouver’s Run With The Heard<\/em> strikes a very different pose. Here\u00a0they do their own retro trip back in time to the 80s.<\/p>\n

This indie band<\/a> has managed to generate a buzz in the local music scene, and puts on a live show that\u00a0creates a circus-like feel. They are however, quite the juxtaposition to the Circle Six Orchestra<\/em> of just 8 decades ago.<\/p>\n

It would be interesting to know what the band photos of 80 years in the future will look like. What attitude will the players display? What poses will they strike? Will base ball bats still be the accessory of choice?<\/p>\n
