Members of Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show band ride horses down a dirt street during a parade for the show. The men are playing their instruments while riding horses. Among the instruments being played is a trombone, a trumpet and the drums. A group of soldiers on horseback follows the band in the parade. The men are members of Buffalo Bill's Congress of Rough Riders of the World. A large crowd of spectators watches the parade. Several people ride bicycles next to the bandwagon. The men in the crowd wear derby hats while the women wear hats adorned with flowers. The young boys wear caps and knickers. A large building is in the background with a sign hanging from it reading "The Cornwall & Patterson Mfg. Co. Piano and Organ Hardware."
