Piping Hot depicts a band marching through the streets with pipers taking the lead. Once the tune has been played, the music gets passed to the woodwinds for a musically light section. Mayhem then threatens to break out as the rest of the band gets restless and try to impose their own tunes, so the Drum Major sharply calls the band to order, and with the exception of a few outbreaks of exuberance, they successfully complete their march.
