OK, I can't resist this. I wand to say in my defense that it's been a hard
day.

If you're maritimacally inclined, how about 'The Horatio Hornblowers'?

What I'd personally call a wind quintet I played in (if I could find four other
Germans living nearby in the UK) would be 'The Kraut Quintet'

I think I'd better stop talking and start running for cover now...
