Carmine's Big Race.

Art...

painted by Paul Ranson.

And music...

"Rondo", written by

Jean-Joseph Mouret.

[Quincy plays trumpet]

Hey, I'm Quincy.

My friends and I are in Monaco

for one of the biggest car races
in the world,

the Grand Prix.

[car engines revving]

Vroom!

Listen.

I can hear the race cars
practicing for the race!

Do you see the race cars?

Yeah, there they are!

[Annie]
Wow! They're all so big and fast!

But only the fastest car can win the race

and take home
the big, shiny Grand Prix trophy!

[Annie]
Wow! It's stunning.

And I know who's going to win
the Grand Prix trophy--

my good friend Carmine,

Carmine the music car.

Wow!

A music car?

Where is he, Quincy?

Here he comes.

[playing classical music]

Listen. Carmine is saying hello to us.

[Carmine plays trumpet]

Let's wave back to him.

Wave to Carmine.

Hi, Carmine.

-Hello.
-Hey, Carmine.

[plays trumpet]

Wow! He's so cool!

I've never seen a car like Carmine before.

That's because
there's no other car like Carmine.

He's a music car.

See? He has a trumpet engine...

[plays trumpet]

A trombone horn.

[plays trombone]

And bass drum tires!

[plays bass drums]

[plays "Rondo"]

[Quincy] Listen. Carmine's playing
his special racing song.

-Wow.
-Awesome!

Carmine is magnificent.

[tires screeching]

[Annie] Whoa!
Those other race cars are really big.

[Leo]
And they're really fast!

[June]
They're spinning up dust at Carmine.

[Quincy]
Hey, that's not very nice.

[June] Those big, bad race cars
are making fun of Carmine

because he's different.

They don't think Carmine
can win the Grand Prix.

They're laughing at him.

[Quincy]
Hey, you leave Carmine alone.

[Annie]
What bad manners!

[plays trumpet]

Poor Carmine.

He looks sad...

and discouraged.

Don't listen to those big,
bad race cars, Carmine.

You are going to win the race.

I just know it!

[plays trumpet]

That's right,

because you have something
none of the other cars have--

instruments!

[plays each instrument]

And, Quincy, you're great
at playing instruments.

Yeah! I bet you could help him, Quincy.

[plays trumpet]

Sure, Carmine.

I'll help you play your instruments

so that you can go fast and win the race.

[plays each instrument]

But we're going to need your help.

Will you help Carmine win the Grand Prix?

All right!

[plays trumpet]

[baton chimes]

We've got a mission!

We're going to help Carmine win the race.

[car engines revving]

But, Leo, we've got to hurry.

The Grand Prix race is about to start!

Let the mission...

begin!

Let's blast-off to give Carmine
extra power!

Buckle your seatbelts.

[all]
Seatbelts buckled!

Prepare for blast-off.

Let's give Rocket and Carmine
a lot of power.

Put your hands on your lap
and pat with us.

Pat, pat, pat, pat.

Pat, pat, pat, pat

Faster! Pat, pat, pat, pat, pat.

Now raise your arms as high as you can

ad say, "blast-off!"

[all]
Blast-off!

[Annie]
Hold on tight, 'cause here we go!

[all]
Whoa!

Whoo-hoo!

All right!

-[Annie] Yeah!
-[June] Go, Carmine, go!

♪ You can do it, Carmine ♪

♪ You can win the race ♪

♪ Because you are an amazing music car ♪

There sure are a lot of fast race cars.

But Carmine's fast, too.

Look. He's catching up.

[Annie]
wow, Carmine is fast.

[plays trumpet]

He's trying to get past
the other race car.

[Annie]
But he can't quite do it.

He needs to go even faster!

I know what to do.

Carmine can go faster

if we help him play his trumpet engine.

Hold your trumpet
up by your mouth like me.

And wiggle your fingers
to push the valves.

[plays]

Yeah! That's it.

Play your trumpet with me.

[plays "Rondo"]

[Quincy]
It's working!

You're helping Carmine
use his trumpet engine!

[Annie]
He's passing that race car!

[June]
And that race car.

Keep playing your trumpet.

[plays "Rondo"]

Whoo-hoo!

Carmine has passed three more race cars!

[Quincy]
Keep playing!

Hooray! Carmine's going faster than ever!

Great trumpet playing.

What an extraordinary music car!

Look! I can see the big, bad race cars.

[June]
Carmine can catch them.

[Annie]
Go, Carmine!

[plays trumpet]

[Quincy]
Oh, no!

The big, bad race cars
are opening up that little gate.

[Annie]
They're letting out those little cows.

[Leo] Carmine can't drive
with all those little cows in the way.

[June]
That's not fair.

Don't worry, Carmine.

I know how you can get past
the little cows.

[plays trumpet]

Sure.

All you have to do is play
your trombone horn.

[both play trombone]

And I'm going to help you.

[plays trombone]

[high-pitched moo]

Listen. When these little cows moo,

it sounds high.

[high-pitched mooing]

So let's help Carmine play a high note
on his trombone horn.

That will tell the little cows
to move out of the way.

Hold your trombone with one hand

and use your other hand
to slide the slide in and out

just a teeny, tiny bit,
not too far from your body.

[plays trombone]

That's it.

We're playing a high note.

Do it with me.

[plays trombone]

[plays trombone]

[high-pitched moo]

It worked!

The little cows went back to their farm.

[plays instruments]

[Leo]
Uh-oh, look.

The big, bad race cars
are opening up another gate.

[June] They're letting bigger cows
get out into the road.

[lower-pitched moos]

[Annie]
Those bigger cows sound lower.

[tires screech]

We know how to tell bigger cows
to move out of the road.

We'll help Carmine play a lower note
on the trombone.

Hold your trombone up
and slide the slide out

a little further away from your body.

[plays trombone]

Good! Play it with me.

[plays trombone]

[plays trombone]

[lower-pitched moo]

[June]
They're moving!

[Leo] The bigger cows
are going back to their farm.

-[Annie] Yay, Carmine!
-[plays instruments]

[xylophone plays notes]

What is it, Rocket?

Oh, no!

The big, bad race cars are at it again.

[June]
They let out even more cows.

[Annie]
And they're the biggest cows of all.

[low-pitched moo]

Whoa! When those humongous cows moo,

it sounds really, really low.

We have to play our trombones

really, really low.

Slide your slide out as far as you can.

[plays trombone]

[playing trombone]

Even lower...

[plays trombone]

[playing trombone]

[Quincy]
We did it!

[June] All the really big cows
went back to their farm.

[all]
Hooray!

[xylophone plays notes]

That was awesome trombone playing.

[plays instruments]

[Leo]
Go, Carmine!

♪ Because you are an amazing music car ♪

Look! There's the sign
that points to the finish line!

[Annie] But the big, bad
race cars drove by so fast

that the sign is spinning!

[June] And now it's pointing
in the wrong direction.

[Quincy]
Oh, no!

[Annie]
Carmine is following the sign.

He's going the wrong way!

Rocket, follow Carmine.

[xylophone plays notes]

[June]
This road is way too bumpy.

How can he drive
over all those enormous bumps?

I know how.

Carmine has tires
that can drive over anything.

He has bass drum tires.

[plays bass drums]

But Carmine needs our help
to get over all the bumps.

Come on. Hold your mallet
out in front of you.

Now bang your bass drum.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

That's it.

Play your bass drum and say, "boom."

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

Carmine is playing
his bass drum tires with us.

And look. He's driving over the bumps.

[Annie]
Yay, Carmine!

[June]
Awesome!

[Quincy]
Uh-oh, the bumps are getting bigger.

We need to help Carmine play
his bass drum tires louder.

Play your drum louder and say...

boom, boom, boom, boom!

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

Here come the biggest bumps yet!

Play even louder!

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

All right!

We helped Carmine drive
over all the bumps.

Great bass drum playing.

Good job, Carmine.

Yay, music car!

[plays trumpet]

Ok, Carmine, there are only
three cars left to beat--

the big, bad race cars.

I know you can do it.

Go get 'em!

[plays instruments]

[Leo]
Whoo-hoo!

[June]
Go, Carmine!

Hey, team, look!

The big, bad race cars
are driving over that drawbridge.

-[Annie] Oh, no!
-[bell ringing]

They're pulling the lever
on the other side.

[Quincy]
I cannot believe it!

They're making the drawbridge go up.

[tires screech]

Hey, that's not fair.

[June]
Now Carmine can't get across the bridge.

[playing trumpet]

Listen. Carmine is calling to us.

He really needs our help.

We have to fly in Rocket
to the other side of the bridge

and make it go back down.

Come on, team, to Rocket!

We're going to have to fly Rocket
as fast as he can go--

superfast!

Will you help me fly Rocket superfast?

Great!
♪ Superfast! ♪

[all]
♪ Superfast! ♪

To get to superfast,
we have to start at adagio.

Pat the beat on your lap slowly.

[music plays adagio]

Moderato.

Now pat the beat on your tummy
a little faster.

[music plays moderato]

Allegro.

Now pat the beat on your shoulders
even faster.

[music plays allegro]

Presto!

Now reach your arms to the sky
and shake your whole body!

We did it!

We're flying superfast!

[Annie]
Yay!

[June]
Hooray!

[Quincy]
We made it to the drawbridge!

[Leo]
Way to go, Rocket.

[June]
Now Carmine can cross the bridge.

[plays instruments]

[Quincy]
Hurry, Carmine.

You can catch those big, bad race cars.

Look. Carmine is catching up.

But he can't get past
those big, bad race cars.

You can do it, Carmine!

I know you can!

[plays trumpet]

But to win the race,

you need to play all of your instruments
at the same time.

[plays trumpet]

Carmine needs our help.

Will you help Carmine play all
of his instruments so he can win the race?

Great!

Let's help Carmine
play his trumpet engine.

Hold up your trumpet

and wiggle your fingers
to push the valves like this.

[vroom]

[Quincy]
It's working!

Carmine passed the big orange race car.

Now let's help Carmine
play his trombone horn.

Hold up your trombone

and slide the slide in and out.

[plays trombone]

[Annie]
We're doing it!

He passed the big green race car.

Help Carmine play his bass drum tires.

Bang your drum with your mallet

and say, "boom."

Boom, boom, boom,

boom, boom!

[Annie]
He caught up to the big blue race car!

[Leo]
And here comes the finish line!

Play your trumpet.

Play your trombone.

Play your bass drum.

-[Quincy] Trumpet...
-[trumpet plays]

-Trombone...
-[trombone plays]

-Bass drum...

all those instruments.

You helped Carmine win the race.
