| Goofs | When Mr Forbes (Jim Backus) runs out of the General Store to join the parade, he is carrying a valve trombone (which would be in keeping with the type of trombone mostly used in the late 19th century). Later at the band concert, he is playing a slide trombone with no explanation for the switch. See more » |
