That's what the orchestra has been called. Since you provide no context, impossible to say whether this might fit here.
Note from asker:
| thanks a million. if that's what they've been called, well, then that's what I can call them too. fits into the context very well. Sorry about the lack of context |

: Sonnige Grüße aus dem kalten, aber wolkenlosen Rheinland. :-) // Ich fürchte, hier wird das trübe Wetter auch bald eintreffen. Die letzten Tage waren aber so schön, dass man im windgeschützten Eckchen auf dem Balkon schon ein Sonnenbad nehmen konnte. :-)

Danke schön, Ulrike! Uns hat die Sonne am Sonntagabend verlassen, seitdem ist es trüb, soll aber langsam wärmer werden (laut Vorhersage 12°C am Freitag). Der Februar war hier bisher so launisch wie der April, ein ständiger Wechsel.

Danke schön, Inge! Ihr Armen - hier hat es zwar auch am Freitag & Samstag geschneit, aber bloß 10 Minuten, dann war der Spuk vorüber. Wie schon im Januar schwanken die Temperaturen stark, und das Wetter insgesamt ändert sich laufend. Kann man nicht ändern
