    Two U.S. Army soldiers in ACU (Army Combat Uniform) are handling a large bass drum marked with the number '89' inside what appears to be a military armory or drill hall. One soldier is wearing a distinctive black shako-style hat with a feather plume, suggesting involvement with a military band or ceremonial unit. They appear to be setting up or repositioning the drum on a metal stand.
