Mister Rogers' Neighborhood

Season 15 Episode 14: 1549 - Making Music: A Visit with the Empire Brass Quintet

Mister Rogers arrives with a collection of pictures showing various brass instruments -- the tuba, the French horn, the trumpet, and the slide trombone. He mentions that he will be visiting friends who play each of those instruments and using a tape recording to record their sounds. In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, the castle is being decorated for the bass violin festival as King Friday requests the presence of his fanfare players. After playing a fanfare, the players put on hats that look like bass violins. When they speak, each fanfare player speaks only one word at a time, together forming short sentences. Handyman Negri asks them if they ever speak together and is told, "We play together. We speak separately." Back at the house, Mister Rogers makes a paper hat shaped like a cone and remembers how he used to have pretend parades when he was a boy.
