Seems to me that a), e) and g) are all pretty much the same. Obviously the other definitions are a lot of nonsense. I guess I'll be a good sheep and follow the flock so, for no other reason than that I'm easily led, I'll pick the middle one of those and go for e).

B definitely. If it's not correct, it should be. We need such a term for such displays.

You left out the real definition, which is "the song of the Community Open Space Partnership."
That choice not being available, however, I'll have to cast a vote for the lettuce patch (F). Costumed Players in whichever form, or players' costumes, or whatever, may be the right answer but it's too trite. No self-respecting puzzler would propose it seriously. Us Folks, of course, is another kettle of fish entirely :-)
