Decorating your tuba for Christmas

Starting to plan decorations for my helicon for Tuba Christmas and other concert gigs. I found some LED lights that are sound activated and I'm playing with how to attach them to my horn in a way that looks cool but doesn't damage the finish. I'd love to see photos of what other people have done in the past for inspiration

I made a fabric bell cover held tight with an elastic band. I can pin or tape to the bell cover without concern about the horn. It worked well for me on a sousaphone.
I thought about making a hole pattern to insert lights through the fabric, but haven’t been inspired to make that effort. If proceeding, I would probably make that an add-on piece so that I don’t disturb the original bell cover.
