"Come Blow Your Horn!" is the ninth episode of the seventh season of Barney & Friends.

Plot

Everyone is excited about the evening concert with Mr. Boyd's brass band. Angela is learning to play the trumpet but needs a lot of practice before she can join the band, and BJ hopes to drum up a gig with the band. In the meantime, the kids view Mr. Boyd's collection of horns on display in the caboose. As they learn about French horns, trumpets, trombones and tubas, Barney admits that he has tooted a tuba tune a time or two in his time and breaks into a fun tuba instrumental, with the last note shaking the room which makes Angela and Gianna hold their breath. When the kids offer to help Mr. Boyd decorate, they find themselves searching for missing band posters - which leads to nursery rhyme fun with "Little Boy Blue" and "Old King Cole". As the band practices, Barney - the Grand Poobah of the tuba - and drummer BJ get to play along. Making music with friends is always fun with a musical purple dinosaur!

Trivia

• Working Title: "Horns A'Plenty!"
• This episode marks:
  • The first television appearance of Nick, after he first appeared in Come on Over to Barney's House.
  • The second episode where Mr. Boyd plays a brass instrument.
  • The first time Mr. Boyd appeared with Nick, Gianna, and Angela.
  • The first time Angela and BJ appeared together.
• The moving jaw mechanism for BJ is only present for about seven minutes of the episode, and for the rest of this episode, he is simply bobbing his head to make the jaw move. This most likely means that most of this episode was filmed before the mechanism was added.

Release date

• This episode aired the same day that Going Places With Barney was released.
