00:00Hey, look at all these instruments, Big Bird.
00:08I wonder what they're here for.
00:09I don't know.
00:10It's kind of a strange place to leave them, isn't it?
00:13Sure is.
00:14Oh, hi, Bert.
00:15Hi, Bert.
00:16Hi, Bert.
00:17Oh, hi, Bob.
00:18How you doing?
00:19Hi, Big Bird.
00:20How are you?
00:21Hey, Bert, do you know anything about all these instruments lying on the sidewalk over
00:24here?
00:25Oh, yeah.
00:26Those are for my marching band.
00:27Your marching band?
00:28Uh-huh.
00:29Oh, you have a marching band, Bert?
00:30Oh, didn't I tell you?
00:31No, I didn't know that.
00:32Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:33See, we're going out to the park today, and we're really going to wail.
00:35No kidding.
00:36I love marching bands.
00:37Yeah.
00:38Where are all the guys?
00:39Well, see, they're in the bus, and I'm waiting for the bus right now.
00:40It should be here any second.
00:41Oh, terrific.
00:42Yeah.
00:43Hey, will you take it easy with those instruments, please?
00:44Hey, hey.
00:46Bert, do you play in the band?
00:47Do you have an instrument?
00:48Oh, yeah.
00:49Yeah.
00:50I'm the leader, and I also play the whistle.
00:51You play whistle?
00:52Yeah.
00:53You want to hear a whistle solo?
00:54Yeah.
00:55All right.
00:56Here we go.
00:57Hey, that's terrific, Bert.
00:58That's marvelous.
00:59Take 10 years at Juilliard for that.
01:00I want to learn to play this one.
01:01Big Bird, Big Bird.
01:02Oh, no, wait.
01:03Oh, no, you can't do that.
01:04Big Bird, Big Bird, that's not an instrument.
01:05No.
01:06That's a baton.
01:07Yeah.
01:08A baton?
01:09Yeah.
01:10Tell him, Bert, what that's for.
01:11Oh, that's for me, the leader.
01:12When I march with a band, I lead the band with that.
01:13With this?
01:14Oh, yeah?
01:15Yeah.
01:16Hey, Big Bird, let me ask you something.
01:17You know what a marching band sounds like, don't you?
01:18All the instruments, the brass instruments and everything in it?
01:19Oh, of course I do.
01:20Why, everybody knows about a brass band.
01:21Well, I may not know a few things about it.
01:22Or, well, actually, I don't know anything.
01:23Would you like to hear a great marching band, Big Bird?
01:24Would I?
01:25Sure.
01:26Well, listen to this, then.
01:27Whee!
01:28Whee!
01:29Whee!
01:30Whee!
01:31Whee!
01:32Whee!
01:33Whee!
01:34Whee!
01:35Whee!
01:36Whee!
01:37Whee!
01:38Whee!
01:39Whee!
01:40Whee!
01:41Whee!
01:42Whee!
01:43Whee!
01:44Whee!
01:45Whee!
01:46Whee!
01:47Whee!
01:48Whee!
01:49Hey, Maria, got your trumpet already?
01:50Are you kidding?
01:51Ah.
01:52First, the shiny trumpet, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba.
01:53When it plays a tune, you want to shout hurrah.
01:54Hurray.
01:55Now it's kind of lonely, but it's simply grand
01:56when it's in a big brass band.
01:57Nice.
01:58Hey, uh, uh, what's that instrument that Mr. Looper has?
01:59That's a sousaphone, Big Bird.
02:00A phone?
02:01Mm-hm.
02:02Hello, operators?
02:03Hello, operators?
02:04Hello, operators.
02:05Hello, operators.
02:06Hello, operators.
02:07Hello, operators.
02:08Hello, operators.
02:09Hello, operators.
02:10Hello, operators.
02:11Hello, operators.
02:12Hello, operators.
02:13Hello, operators.
02:14Uh-huh.
02:15Hello, operator.
02:16I'm sorry.
02:21The sousaphone makes a boop-boop sound.
02:25You stand inside, it curls around.
02:29It sounds quite burpy, but it gets a hand
02:33when it's in a big brass band.
02:37The piccolo is small, and when you blow,
02:41it squeals like a piglet on a farm.
02:45The glockenspiel has very small appeal,
02:49but put them all together, and they've got a lot of charm.
02:53Yeah!
02:59Goes the slide trombone.
03:01You push it in and out.
03:03It makes a kind of groan.
03:05Why do people play it?
03:07You will understand when it's in a big brass band.
03:12Yeah!
03:13Oh, I love it!
03:15Beat me, Daddy!
03:16Seven to the bar!
03:18Come on, let's twist!
03:21Well, Bob, I guess I know all about a brass band now.
03:24Not quite, Big Bird.
03:25You've got all the percussion instruments left.
03:27The per-what?
03:28Percussion.
03:29All the noisemakers, Big Bird.
03:31Boom plays the drum.
03:33Goes boom, boom, boom.
03:35It makes a noise, but plays no tune.
03:39It's really deafening, but it's simply grand
03:43when it's in a big brass band.
03:46Yay!
03:47The cymbals crash, a crazy kind of crash
03:51that makes you put your fingers in your ear.
03:55The snare drum's tap could make you take a nap,
03:59but put them all together, and they get a lot of cheer.
04:03Yay!
04:04Okay, everybody, into marching formation!
04:08Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
04:10Whistle blows.
04:12Okay, all together, play!
04:16Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
04:22Yes!
04:24Yes!
04:34Right face!
04:36Yes!
04:52Right face!
04:54Forward march!
04:56Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
04:58Yes!
05:00Oh, yes!
05:02Love it!
05:04March, play!
05:06Yes, yes!
05:08Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
05:10Yes!
05:12Yes!
05:13Two, three, four, yes!
05:15Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
05:16Yes!
05:17Oh, there's the bus, yes!
05:19No!
05:20The instruments!
05:21Wait!
05:22Hey, guys, come back, please!
