I hate to admit it , Wayne, but back when I was young
I once saw a bunch of brass players who decided to play while submerged in a city fountain. Only the bells were above the water.
Could be they used the tubing as a snorkel when whenever they needed to take a breath. Either that or learn to breathe H2 O.

Wow, that would have been something to see.

I guess it wasn’t these guys. They do this fountain gig every year on the day they turn the water on for summer.

Speak about blasphemous takes on classic tunes, by the way!

Information about the performing group from Sweden via google translate:

Blåshjuden, or formally KHMMC Blåshjuden - Kungliga HofMessingsMusiqueCorpsen Blåshjuden af Götheborg, is a student orchestra for medical, pharmacist and speech therapy students at the University of Gothenburg, and is part of the Medical Association in Gothenburg.
The blues play German march, Swedish march and American march, among others. The repertoire also includes Austrian marches and traditional jazz-inspired marches in the same style as the brass bands that live in New Orleans. When you perform together with the ballet Inälfvorna, you play (sometimes reluctantly) basically anything.
Blåshjuden likes to play at various events and festivities, both for private individuals and at various orchestra festivals around Sweden and nearby countries.
