'Tis The Season


Recommended Posts

We had about 150 this morning in Houston in spite of the rainy cold weather. It was pretty cool hearing all those tuba, euphs, contras and baris playing together. Gotta tell ya though.....its not much fun playing music transposed to "G" in order to play my DEG bugle. 6 and 7 flats just gets a little hard to remember at times. :P

Just thought I would give this little plug for Tuba Christmas. This is a GREAT event and the music is so warm and beautiful. I know this also takes place in several other parts of the country but this is the one my husband and our son does so I thought I would start the topic with this one.

If I get anymore info I will pass it on.

RCR low brass is back in the game this year. We have secured some concert Bb euphs and baris for Tuba Christmas. I just got mine ordered and delivered just in time from Yamaha. I am going for the second year here in Sacramento, CA. I played in the Denver area from '86-'93 It's always fun. Just a few more days....
