Up and down the Northeast corridor, armies of organizers and event planners, stagehands and counterterrorism experts, tree pruners and translators, high school tuba players and even a few as-yet-unidentified celebrity chefs have marshaled to tackle an unimaginably vast set of tasks in advance of Francis’ arrival on Tuesday.

If they're going to pursue him and do the farcical tuba thing, as seems to be recently the most obvious use for tubas, I hope they think of something better to play than that little one bar 6/8 thing.

Maybe an enterprising Freshman Tuba player will stick a home made metronome in a briefcase and show it the Pope.

Hilarity ensues!!
