Indeed you have missed the point of the shot - the musicians are not just any street band but a Salvation Army band, and are sitting directly under a sign which reads "Save up to half price". So its a contrast between a nominally religious festival with what it has become, a modern consumer festival. Not grabbed, very carefully aligned to get the sign in its prominent position.

Holidays bring us these not-so-ordinary events, otherwise seen as musicians on the street during the holidays but rarely anytime else. This image is boring, a simple “grab” shot.
