drumcorpsfever Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) University of Akron at EJ Thomas Hall. Great venue and fun show. We've gone the last 2 years and will go again this year. Mr. Jolley (and his great story interludes) and the music department is exceptional. I believe there were over 300 performers on stage last year - from a 5th or 6th grader to an 80-something. It's impossible not to leave without a smile! There's one here in Akron...33rd Annual...2 shows: Akron's Tuba Christmas It's quite the party, and both shows are typically packed...

kac Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I will be at the Baltimore one on Saturday for my son's first tuba Christmas performance. He's almost 12 and has been looking forward to it since we went last year to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubabeard42 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I've been in the Anaheim for one for the past few years (would have been doing the one that got rained out). I'll be there this year, too. Not sure if I'll be playing baritone or tuba, depends on what I'll be able to have at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawn craig Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 (edited) I will be at the Baltimore one on Saturday for my son's first tuba Christmas performance. He's almost 12 and has been looking forward to it since we went last year to watch. It was lots of fun Saturday at the inner harbor. 275 tubas, including 5 double belled euphoniums, 2 or so helicons, one horn from the cival war era and one serpant. 2 players that were 80 years old!
