A horn having a substantially hollow body with a first end, a medial portion, and a second end. The medial portion has an exhaust assembly having an opening. The body first end is structured to be engaged by the mouth of a user and defines an initial flowpath with a direction extending into the body. A confetti chamber is disposed in the hollow body. The confetti chamber is in fluid communication with the body first end and the exhaust opening. There is confetti disposed in the confetti chamber. An exhaust flowpath extends from the confetti chamber through said exhaust opening. The exhaust flowpath is not substantially aligned with said initial flowpath.
