Anatoly is awesome! I really like music, and he helps me a lot with learning to play and with my music homework.

A group of musicians is marching, led by a trumpeter in the foreground. They are all dressed in formal attire, including white shirts and ties. The setting appears to be outdoors in an urban environment. The focus is on the individual playing the trumpet, with other musicians and a cityscape in the background.
