English term
greeted by the sound of a band
Please note that the subjet who gets off the plane and is greeted by the band is unkown in this syntactically incorrect sentence. How would you solve this problem?

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
Proposed translations
on entend quelques musiciens jouer un air
"Fanfare" est en principe une formation de cuivres...
(Orchestre composé d'instruments de cuivre, auquel s'adjoignent souvent des instruments à percussion - déf cnrtl) Or même si les passagers ne voient pas encore les musiciens, ils entendent bien qu'il n'y a ni trompette, ni trombone etc. mais banjo, accordéon, guitare et percu. Orchestre à la rigueur, mais je ne dirais pas fanfare.
Et pour la construction de la phrase, comme le dit Françoise ça ressemble fort à une description de plans. D'où proposition de la forme "on"...
