Marching Bands of Manhattan

I want to draw a picture of a tiny marching band marching out of a mouth, like in the death cab song. I can just see it in my mind. Red top hats with gold chin straps, red uniforms with a gold stripe on the leg. The drummer is on the end, with his big drum, beating either side. His left leg is bent at a 90 degree angle, because he's marching. Trumpet in front of him, his cheeks all puffed out, leg bent the same as the drummers. The rest of the marching band is behind them, but you can't make them out. If I could draw, I would just draw that and I wouldn't have to sit here and type it. A picture is worth a thousand words. I'm really going to try to draw it in my sketchbook which is full of nothing. We will see what happens.
