0:00:40 > 0:00:45Oh, hi, Ruairi. Sorry, I didn't see you there.

0:00:45 > 0:00:50Eh...May, are you not forgetting something?

0:00:50 > 0:00:53Sorry! Lovely to see you here in Big City Park.

0:00:56 > 0:00:59- Is everything OK, May? - Oh, yeah, I'm fine.

0:00:59 > 0:01:02Hi, everyone! There's a brass band

0:01:02 > 0:01:06playing at the Big City Park bandstand today!

0:01:06 > 0:01:08Listen!

0:01:08 > 0:01:10DISTANT BRASS MUSIC

0:01:11 > 0:01:14It's so exciting, isn't it, May?

0:01:14 > 0:01:18Oh, I know all about the brass band, Billy. And it is exciting.

0:01:18 > 0:01:21But I've been so busy, I haven't been able to see them.

0:01:21 > 0:01:25- Is that why you're a wee bit sad? - Are you sad, May?

0:01:25 > 0:01:30I'm OK. I would like to have gone to see them play, that's all.

0:01:30 > 0:01:34My dad used to be in a brass band and when I was little,

0:01:34 > 0:01:36I went to see him play all the time.

0:01:36 > 0:01:38You won't be missing much, May.

0:01:38 > 0:01:42I used to be the conductor of a one man band.

0:01:42 > 0:01:46It was just me and I was the best band in the world.

0:01:46 > 0:01:47THEY LAUGH

0:01:47 > 0:01:48What is a brass band?

0:01:48 > 0:01:52RUAIRI GASPS What is a brass band?!

0:01:52 > 0:01:56I tell you something, you youngsters today don't know a thing!

0:01:56 > 0:02:00A brass band is a group of people who play instruments

0:02:00 > 0:02:03made of a metal called brass. Brass band.

0:02:03 > 0:02:09Yep. Instruments like the euphonium. And the flugelhorn.

0:02:09 > 0:02:11BILLY LAUGHS

0:02:11 > 0:02:15Wo-wee! What a funny word! Flugelhorn! Ha-ha-ha!

0:02:15 > 0:02:18Flagelhorn!

0:02:18 > 0:02:20Flogel-ogel-ogel-horn! Ha-ha!

0:02:20 > 0:02:23You tell the best tall tales!

0:02:23 > 0:02:26Billy, I'm not joking!

0:02:26 > 0:02:29Oh, here's Dara and her friends now.

0:02:29 > 0:02:34- Hi, Rose. Hi, Thomas.- Hi! - Hi, Caitlin.- Hi!

0:02:34 > 0:02:38Why don't we see if we can find things in the park

0:02:38 > 0:02:41to use as our own musical instruments?

0:02:41 > 0:02:47Then we can all have fun making music!

0:02:47 > 0:02:50That's a brilliant idea, Billy.

0:02:50 > 0:02:54There's no need! I have all the instruments needed for a brass band

0:02:54 > 0:02:59right here in my treasure chest. Like a tuba, a trombone,

0:02:59 > 0:03:02an E flat horn and a flugelhorn.

0:03:02 > 0:03:08- THEY LAUGH - Flugelhorn! You're so funny, Ruairi.

0:03:08 > 0:03:12I'm telling you - the flugelhorn is a real instrument!

0:03:12 > 0:03:15That's a great idea, Ruairi. But I think my friends

0:03:15 > 0:03:20could have much more fun looking for and making their own instruments.

0:03:20 > 0:03:25What do you think? Would you like to make your own instruments?

0:03:25 > 0:03:27Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

0:03:27 > 0:03:31- OK. Suit yourself.- A bag for Thomas.

0:03:31 > 0:03:35A bag for Rose. And a bag for Caitlin.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40- Bags on shoulders. - ALL: Bags on shoulders.

0:03:40 > 0:03:43- Boots on toes. - ALL: Boots on toes.

0:03:43 > 0:03:46It's exploring time, so...

0:03:46 > 0:03:51ALL: Off we go!

0:03:51 > 0:03:54I feel a bit sad that May's missing the band.

0:03:54 > 0:03:58We need to put on the best show ever for her.

0:03:58 > 0:04:01I think you're right, Billy. There's no time to lose.

0:04:16 > 0:04:18Oh, that's great!

0:04:20 > 0:04:22SHE MAKES A TRUMPET NOISE

0:04:22 > 0:04:26Oh! What a lovely flower!

0:04:35 > 0:04:37Wow!

0:04:37 > 0:04:41We found lots of great instruments.

0:04:41 > 0:04:44This is going to be a great concert for May.

0:04:44 > 0:04:48- Let's hear what they sound like. - THE STICKS CLICK

0:04:48 > 0:04:51THE LEAVES RUSTLE

0:04:51 > 0:04:53THE STONES BANG

0:04:53 > 0:04:57- THEY LAUGH - Yeah!- Great!- That's great.

0:04:57 > 0:05:02But I'm not sure if it sounds like a band. And we need a band

0:05:02 > 0:05:03to perform for May.

0:05:03 > 0:05:07That's really lovely, Billy, but I'm fine!

0:05:07 > 0:05:11In fact...sshhhh! Listen!

0:05:11 > 0:05:14BIRDS TWEET

0:05:15 > 0:05:17A DOG BARKS

0:05:17 > 0:05:20- What can you hear?- Birds singing.

0:05:20 > 0:05:24Wee birds and a wee dog.

0:05:25 > 0:05:30There is lots of music in the park that I've never thought of.

0:05:30 > 0:05:33Oh, but I still want to put on a show for you, May.

0:05:33 > 0:05:36How do you make music your way?

0:05:36 > 0:05:40Dara, I think we're going to need some help to find out.

0:05:40 > 0:05:42I'm on my way!

0:05:42 > 0:05:44THEY LAUGH

0:05:46 > 0:05:51- Hi, Ruairi!- Oh! Dara, look what I found in my treasure chest!

0:05:51 > 0:05:54I'm going to show that young badger

0:05:54 > 0:05:57that there is such a thing as a flugelhorn.

0:05:57 > 0:06:00And it would be perfect for our band.

0:06:00 > 0:06:03That's great, Ruairi. But I think our friends

0:06:03 > 0:06:05want to make their own instruments.

0:06:05 > 0:06:08I'm going to check with my city friends

0:06:08 > 0:06:11to see how they make music with stuff they find outside.

0:06:11 > 0:06:15Why didn't you just ask, Dara? Whenever I was a lad,

0:06:15 > 0:06:19we used to make guitars out of river reeds and spiders webs.

0:06:19 > 0:06:23We also used to make drums out of old bamboo shoots

0:06:23 > 0:06:27and massive banana leaves. Big as your head, they were!

0:06:27 > 0:06:30- And we also used to... - Ruairi, I really to go

0:06:30 > 0:06:33and check in with my city friends.

0:06:33 > 0:06:38Ah, keyboards. Keyboards out of park benches and daffodil stalks.

0:06:38 > 0:06:42That's great, Ruairi. Got to dash!

0:06:42 > 0:06:44Ha-ha! Them were the days.

0:06:49 > 0:06:52OK... Let's see.

0:06:52 > 0:06:56Music. Music...music. Ha-ha.

0:06:56 > 0:06:59Ah, here it is.

0:06:59 > 0:07:03Making music my way!

0:07:03 > 0:07:05That's it!

0:07:05 > 0:07:09From the fastest fox in Big City Park to the friendliest friends

0:07:09 > 0:07:10in the Big City.

0:07:10 > 0:07:12Tell us what you know!

0:08:46 > 0:08:48# Big City Park! #

0:08:48 > 0:08:49I'm sorry, May.

0:08:49 > 0:08:53There aren't as many things to use as instruments as I thought.

0:08:53 > 0:08:57Oh, don't be silly! We're having a great time, aren't we?

0:08:57 > 0:08:59ALL: Yeah!

0:08:59 > 0:09:01- DARA PANTS - Found out for you, May!

0:09:01 > 0:09:04I so wanted to put on a concert for May.

0:09:04 > 0:09:08But we can, Billy. My friends in the city know how we can make

0:09:08 > 0:09:11all our instruments sound better.

0:09:11 > 0:09:15If we combine the things we found, we can make better sounds.

0:09:15 > 0:09:20- Just like a real band! - Oh, wow! Yeah!

0:09:20 > 0:09:23That's a great idea! Why don't we try it?

0:09:23 > 0:09:26THEY ALL PLAY TOGETHER

0:09:26 > 0:09:29That sounds great!

0:09:29 > 0:09:31- That's it!- Good!

0:11:25 > 0:11:29I heard you in the distance! It sounded like a lot of fun.

0:11:29 > 0:11:33- So, what was your favourite memory of the day?- Making instruments.

0:11:33 > 0:11:38Wow! That sounds like another fine day in Big City Park.

0:11:38 > 0:11:40Continuing on in that music vein,

0:11:40 > 0:11:43I think I'll peform a wee tune for you all.

0:11:43 > 0:11:47On the flugelhorn. THEY LAUGH

0:11:48 > 0:11:51Flugelhorn!

0:11:51 > 0:11:54BILLY LAUGHS

0:11:54 > 0:11:58- See, Billy? I told you it was real.- Wow!

0:11:58 > 0:12:01But before that, let's all get tucked in

0:12:01 > 0:12:03to some lovely marshmallows!

0:12:03 > 0:12:05Thanks, Ruairi!

0:12:05 > 0:12:08HE PLAYS THE FLUGELHORN

0:12:13 > 0:12:15THEY CHEER

0:12:15 > 0:12:20- Thank you, thank you, thank you. - That was brilliant, Ruairi.

0:12:20 > 0:12:24I learned everything I know from the flugelhorn masters,

0:12:24 > 0:12:27high on the peak of Kilimanjaro.

0:12:27 > 0:12:30- Kilimanjaro! - HE LAUGHS

0:12:30 > 0:12:33You make up the best names for places, Ruairi.

0:12:33 > 0:12:36What? Hang on a second, Billy.

0:12:36 > 0:12:39What don't we put some of the rustling leaves we found

0:12:39 > 0:12:41in Ruairi's treasure chest?

0:12:41 > 0:12:43THE LEAVES RUSTLE

0:12:43 > 0:12:46To remind us of all the music that we've made!

0:12:46 > 0:12:49Leaves can make a lovely tune,

0:12:49 > 0:12:52In April, May and in June.

0:12:52 > 0:12:56Just look around. There are sounds to be found,

0:12:56 > 0:12:59Like our friends did this afternoon.

0:12:59 > 0:13:02THEY CHEER
