Title Drumming up business
Description Drumming up business

That is exactly what they are doing. They start outside a newly opened shop, and walk around the block drumming, to alert people to the new store. If the store has a large enough budget the band can be huge, and might carry a giant banner.

In fact this photo is badly exposed I think, but when processing the RAW file I decided I like the way the band progresses from bright red to the left to an almost invisible drum major on the right. To me it looks as though he is marching the band into the billboard in the background.

K-5, 18-135 WR at 135 (Damn this lens is soft at 135), f5.6, 1/1502, ISO 800

I like the disappearing into the billboard effect too. Not a technical triumph, but still a really interesting shot.

Very interesting scene. I still half-think the band is a painting...

I agree with utak - I presumed it was a mural at first.
