Fantastic.
I sat through so many OOM-PAHS in my days on the tuba... I realize it's such a vital part of forming a strong base for an ensemble, but it really is fun to cut loose on it. The instrument has an enormous range and sounds good in just about every register, and in the hands of a skilled player it's remarkably agile, too.
Nice performance.

Patrick Sheridan and Sam Pilafian (NAMES?)
Patrick Sheridan and Sam Pilafian (NAMES?)will be performing at Vista Murrieta High School on June 4th along with the VMHS concert band. This should be a great show. The show will include "Flight of the Tuba Bee"
I am pretty sure the show is open to the public.
Contact Mr. Wade Director of Instrumental Music at the school for more info.

Sheridan AND Pilafian?
WOW. That is a CAN'T MISS concert if you're a low brass player/fan. I have to check my schedule.
Wow funny how I just happened to stumble across this thread...
We are awesome
The only trouble was that I was the first girl to be a tuba player in my band for a few years so I think I kinda ruined the whole "guy" thing that they had going on...
so things were kinda weird but it's ok...
I still love my section!!
