My "little brother" who is the Captain of the Ohio Wheelmen (an antique bicycle society) just sent me a link to this video ... check out two things: How the snare drummers steer and still play with both hands; how drum majors always have it as a piece of cake.

Re: Brass Band
2 things - the Dutch practically live on their bicycles and do amazing things in a most casual way on them (and the snare drummer is steering with his forearms.)
I do like those alto and tenor helicons!

Re: Brass Band
It looks like the snare drummer has handlebars modified so he can steer with his elbows.
Sort of rules out woodwinds by default!
