Universal's Studio Brass

Does anyone know if Universal's Studio Brass is still around. I didn't see anything of them my last visit.

Will they be back in the warmer weather? Or have they gone the way of the Stuntacular?

They've gone the way of Ghostbusters, Stuntactular, the jugglers at the Sinbad show, and the cast of the Hitchcock show. I believe the brass was cut due to budget constraints.

Is this a street band? On Monday Feb 5, I caught the end of performance of a 6 piece brass band on the street in front of Alfred Hitchcock building. The drummer had his kit on a roller platform.

Speaking of bands, has anyone seen three guys playing BBQ grills like drums? I remember seeing them a few years ago at Mardi Gras. I liked them and the guys who shot toliet paper from a leaf blower.

I got the "official" word from Universal today: The Studio Brass are alive and tooting.
