njthundrrd Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 The Blue Stars have a few remaining spots in our tuba line. Email corps director Eric Sabach at eric@bluestars.org and I will answer any and all questions. Now for you guys that are not tuba players and came in here? Maybe you can send an email to a tuba player, band director, low brass player, or just another drum corps fan and send them my information.

Piper Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Any openings in the Contra Bass line? I wouldn't want to play a tuba. You've got to wrap those suckers around your body and march around like a functional idiot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
contrajedi8 Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Contrabass ruined me. It was a love/hate relationship. There was nothing else I would rather march, but jesus it was brutal. How many tubas are Bluestars hoping to march? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njthundrrd Posted February 2, 2008 Author Share Posted February 2, 2008 We are marching 12 tubas/contras with 2 alternates. I assure you there are no sousaphones! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got to wrap those suckers around your body and march around like a functional idiot. I believe you have "Tuba" mixed up with "sousaphone". Please be rest assured these are two distinctly different things. I could attempt to get in to detail about how the curvature makes the sound suck, and etc, but please understand that corps DO march tubas, contrabass tubas, in fact. A contrabass tuba is a CC or Bb tuba, whereas a bass tuba is more of an F or Eb tuba... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was probably technically confused, but that's what I meant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
