The gates are made up of eight life-sized bandsmen decorated on both sides – reminiscent of large versions of lead soldiers. They wear red jackets and hats with white plumes as they play the tuba, French horn, trumpet, cornet, and drum. Flowers, birds, butterflies and dragonflies emerge from their instruments. An owl sits on one of the posts and on another is a bird that has caught a worm.
