The Band Director, he say; "Yuri, you mess up 1812 Overture again...."

Yuri mess up again.

In Glorious Peoples Republic, chapstick in short supply.

Yuri, adapts, improvises and overcomes.

While he appreciates having a rear defense system, Yuri is unsure if a black powder blunderbuss was the proper choice.

Old picture of Glorious Peoples Republic Borscht Evacuator Model #M-1937.

Take out of active duty and shipped to Warsaw Pact Forces and Third World Allies in the 1960s.

Castle Argghhh has several models in it's collection.

Oddly enough, they seem to have been issued with an odd coating of a.... 'chapstick' like substance and sheet music.

Having solved the problem with Jakov crowding him from behind during marches, Yuri ponders his next move.

Now, for our next song, the musical stylings of Sergei Koffenkov performing "The Flight of the Bumblebee".
And a one, and a two....

Igor learned his lesson as a child, when he put his tongue on the metal post.  Never again.

In Soviet Union, trumpet plays you!

Boq, Honestly, if it were you, would *you* play that horn? It could be from your mouth or there. If you need assistance, I'm sure somebody at the Castle would help you. OH, John, that's the bell, you insert the other end, called the mouthpiece.  Now, that is what you call *intestinal fortitude*!

This one time, in Soviet Army Band camp...

A medical device for the insertion of daily quota of vodka into those band members suffering from severe throat and stomache ulsers.

There's more and better talent out there...when it comes to nether-region wind instrument skills. BTW, is this a new orchestral/band unit? Does this change the label from Brass Section to A$$ Section?

You know on close inspection...

-the patches on the left shoulders look like the Garrison Command patches used by garrison troops on US Army posts. 

-The right shoulder patch worn by the soldier in the right background looks like the patch of the 2nd Infantry Division (Indianhead).

The uniform greatcoats and fur hats I'm not familiar with.
 
By RetRsvMike on January 12, 2010 6:59 PM
actually, i thought the one patch looked rather Flemish, and the other somewhat Walloonish...

Yuri hear that the decadent American beatnik musician Louie Armstrong had huge, strong cheeks to play his trumpet.   These Americans and their strange ways........ but, Yuri try anyway.

You should hear Yuri belt it out at the Velvet Sputnik Bistro.   Until Yuri play, you never really have heard "Boogie-Woogie Bugle Boy" before!

Very cold horn. Warm, humid breath when playing. Very close fit on valves. Condensation freezes in valve, Valve sticks. Music boss unhappy.

OQM - who's interested in the truth?  We want teh funny!

Hmmm. jim b sips a Scoresby and wonders why no one has done a take off of the "Planting Bugle" joke. I suppose it is because it really needs sound effects too.

Try doing that with a Sousaphone!
 
By 1idvet on January 13, 2010 3:22 PM
Tuba was my first choice, but Politburo made me trumpet player.
Boy am I glad!

Take it away Yuri!

The funny would be when the new guy fails to put his mouth piece in his trouser pocket and freezes it to his lips. Well, funny for the rest of the band.
