Antonio (singing): 76 trombones led the big parade
With a hundred ten cornets close at hand.
They were followed by rows and rows
Of the finest virtuosos
The cream of every famous band…
Ariana: What’s THAT all about?
Antonio: A song about trombones we used to sing at morning school assemblies.
Ariana: And the significance?
Antonio: I’m 76 today.
Ariana: Congratulations. For the birthday. Not sure about the singing.

Voice-over
Seventy-six trombones came from the 1957 show The Music Man by Meredith Willson. Judy Garland’s later rendition of the song is on YouTube.
