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.

Not to get a rep for griping on Christmas, but by Gregory noting “today’s standards” one no longer needs to really look at the composition of images. 

“Today’s standards” tell the world’s half a billion “photographers” that actually using the feature called “imagination” (which I alluded to in a prior comment) is no longer needed due the unfailingly automatic response to seeing something you believe you can turn into memorable and great “art".

Just raise your autofocus, autoexposure auto framing, auto-stitching device without looking either through the finder or at the screen with a magnifier and put your finger on the gorilla glass to produce a great piece of “art” as well as the synthetic replicated sound of a Nikon F motor drive. The Nikon F was a real camera which did not accept phone calls to distract the photographer.
