WANTED: Subcontrabass saxophonist for Rivier band program

Just kidding. Check out that beast in the middle (and no, I'm not talking about the guy playing it)! That thing makes the alto look strangely like the plastic bath toy saxophone I had when I was a toddler (it blew bubbles!).

Don't ask me why these guys are in wetsuits on the ocean shore - I guess the nearby surfers needed some saxophone choir entertainment or something. I can't imagine playing this thing - the reeds would be like 2x4s and your entire body would vibrate with every note! Not to mention you'd need lungs the size of grain silos.
