Scope and content
Tacoma's entry in the June 25, 1926 parade celebrating the Elks State Convention held in Tacoma featured the musical stylings of Fausetti's Jazzettes. The all girl band seated on the back of the float under the clock was led by Ethel Fausetti. The musicians were Afifi Kelly, Virna Haffer, Vera Rynning, Ruth Mason and Madge Kelly. Two massive elk pulled the sleigh filled with musicians aboard the float which rolled past 50,000 excited spectators.
