"Trumpets, I expect a wall of sound out of you. Blast those horns and let everyone hear you!"

"Ready to go, Sir!"

"Uh, Sir...?"

"Sousaphones, show them your pride, and I want to hear you! I want people being amazed at your sound, and how well you keep together."

"Got it, Sir!"

"The rest of you, stay in step and just do what we've practiced! Now let's go - the flag corps and rifle corps are waiting for us."


"Sir?"

"What do you want? It's time to go, already".

"Well, it's just that ; We are all set to head out, we are excited about showing off our skills to the crowd. It's just one thing..."
