Hi guys... Trying to get some info on a clip from Sesame Street. There were various of these clips in the series... You'd hear a sort of marching band tune, there was a kind of light blue walkway on the ground, and then different sorts of characters came out each holding their own number as they counted up to the particular number of the day.

It was shown recently in Episode 4122, up to the number 13.
Another example where this clip can be found is in the episode with the story of The Kingdom of Fred, written/told by Elmo, Telly and Baby Bear, culminating with the confrontation against the Dragon who had the Number 17.

If you know the clip series I'm talking about... Would appreciate whatever info you have on the different characters that marched out on the sort of walkway while the kids' voiceovers counted each one before arriving at the number of the day.
Thanks... Hope to get some replies from you guys soon.

I have already posted the answer on the "Your Thoughts 37" post... but it's basically just a bunch of masked figures carrying numbers Mardis Gras style.

The characters are african looking masks (real ones made out of clay and or wood) on 2-D (hand drawn) animated bodies, carrying numbers (made either out of clay or wood).
