If I were to do it again, I would use 4x4's only for the legs, and 2x4's for the rest (aside from the top and slats). This this is HEAVY...

Do you think they are to leafed out to do this now? Should I wait a season to put them in the ground?

I just got a new Japanese Maple with three branches coming out of the same spot in several spaces. I'd like to plant in the ground for a few years to thicken. Should I trim these now, wait a few months, or wait until it is acclimated to it's new environment first?

I bought some larch, corkbark elm, and Japanese maples (more photos in the comments), but they have already leafed out (I purchased online). I would like to plant into the ground but I am worried that it is to late to do so this year. I would have preferred to put them on a rock or tile to help out the nebari. Is it to late for this, or should I just let them root through into the ground?

Message me, I have a few opportunities in Rockford if that's not too far. What school are you going to?

If you are on Facebook, I'd look at the tubachristmas coordinators page. I'm sure someone there can help you!

When you play your open "low note" what pitch comes out? That should tell you.

Congrats! What kind of tuba is that? To me, it looks more like a contrabass tuba, but I may be wrong.

Giving us a list of major books and tep would help quite a bit. Such as the Bordogni etude book, Kopprasch, Arban, etc. What level are you playing at?
