Polish (pre-war?) Orchestra
Photo of dad (3rd row from front, 5th from right) holding trumpet/cornet. Does anybody know where this is? Can anybody translate the writing on the drum? I think it might be connected to either the Trade School or the seminary he was in before the war? Again, does anybody recognise anyone in the picture?

Believe this to be the same orchestra as previous picture, but without my dad. Again, does anybody recognise anybody in the picture?
