Picture	Segment 	Description
 	COLD OPEN 	Elmo announces today's sponsors as Telly blows them from his tuba, which he'll be practicing on a lot today.
 	SCENE 1 	Telly explains he's practicing his tuba so it will sound more like the professionals, such as the one on Elmo's cassette player. He's also hoping to play in Bob's Sesame Street Marching Band, and while his playing is in fine shape, he needs to also practice his marching. Elmo doesn't think that'll be too hard, but Telly shows how difficult it is to march and play the tuba at the same time (falling over with each try). Elmo agrees to stick around and help Telly practice.
