The Band Concert

Conductor Mickey has his hands full in the acclaimed 1935 Disney short The Band Concert. Baton in hand, Mickey leads his crew in the William Tell Overture. But the performance turns tricky as the band is interrupted by one force of nature after another, from a tenacious bee to a fierce tornado to a certain pesky concessions vendor–Donald Duck–who keeps piping up with his flute, changing the band’s tune to “Turkey in the Straw.” It’s all Mickey can do to keep his temper (and the tempo!). but amazingly, the show goes on!
