Plot
Edward is excited to be taking the Sodor brass band to a concert, but the day before the concert he is knocked over by a ship's boiler at Brendam and has to be repaired. Bertie collects the brass band, but a storm from the night before has flooded a road and Bertie goes through a muddy field. Unfortunately, Bertie bogs down in the mud, but the leader of the band tells his players to tune their instruments and play. Edward hears the instruments and collects the band. Edward gets them to the concert on time and it is a great success.

Goofs
- At the beginning, Gordon has Edward's whistle sound.
- Before Edward gets hit by the ship's boiler, his eyes are wonky.
- Why would the crane have a load so low and so near to the rails, especially when there are engines about?
- Studio equipment is reflected in Bertie's back window in one shot of him going along the muddy road.
- Nothing is said about Bertie after he gets stuck in the mud.
- Some of the band members do not have mouths.
- In real life, the boiler would have done more damage to Edward.
