In the foreground, a saxophonist in a studded pink sequined cap, pink sequined jacket and long rhinestone earrings plays a silver alto saxophone at a music stand. Behind, a dancer in a yellow sweatshirt and a sequined skirt spins with one arm raised, and a crowd watches in front of a mint-green wall.

A long-haired saxophonist in a blue bandana raises a fist and shouts, with a trumpeter and other players cheering behind.

A drummer in a denim vest shouts while playing a glittery bass drum, with Brassless Chaps signs above them and the Tacoma HONK banner behind.

A trumpeter in a white shako points one finger up while playing, with a tambourine player and the Couch Brass sousaphone behind him.
