And who might they be, we ask? Said a bespectacled man preparing for his group's act (which included a pair of glittery hula hoops), why, they're the ones with the yellow hatbands, of course...
Most people have heard, in some form or another, the famous “Stars and Stripes Forever” march by John Philip Sousa, with its crisp trumpet lines, sonorous bass undertones, and delicate flute ornamentation. The piece is rightly a classic of 20th-century wind band literature.

Miles Davis probably never played Nintendo. It's technically possible; the genre-bending, stereotype-defying jazz legend lived until 1991, six years after the first Nintendo Entertainment System was released in North America. Who knows how the trumpet player spent his free time? He may have seen a video game, or even picked up a controller. But it's a pretty safe bet that he never stormed Bowser's castle or paused to appreciate the "piku-piku-piku" sound that played when Mario went down a tunnel...
