Few questions:

  1. What instrument on the left? It doesn't look like a tuba or a baritone.

  2. Did I miss the day they taught band about the big scary monster hand? It feels important.

  3. What are these plumbed up to be? They don't look like they function as urinals or sinks anymore, maybe this is some kind of art piece?

  1. It's a German model Tenor horn. Plays and sounds like a baritone or Euphonium
  2. We're not allowed to talk about the big hand
  3. If you look closely though the jpeg artifacts you can see that they are hooked up near the floor. They are functioning urinals.

  1. Something in the Saxhorn family I would guess. Possibly a marching euphonium?

  2. It was the same day as those thwack tubes, you missed a really fun day.

  3. They do look plumbed as urinals to me, it’s just really hard to see the drain pipe going off to the right of each bell behind the bells.

To me, that looks like a baritone with rotary valves as opposed to piston type valves. It seems like the right size, and the piping is cylindrical, as opposed to conical.

Doesn't look exactly right to me, but it might be a Wagner tuba?
