The sound-activated bomb detonator in Sam's trumpet is set to activate when it detects a sound of a particular frequency. The "Operation Guillotine" mastermind set the detonator to activate when it detects the second F above middle C, so the bomb would explode during the word "free" in the final verse of "The Star-Spangled Banner" (assuming the anthem is played in B-flat major, as it is in the film). The same note occurs earlier, at the words "red glare". A bomb set to detonate when it detected the note in question would explode then. In the film, however, the band and Sam play that part of the melody without incident.
