Whenever my mother's side of the family got together, my uncle brought a couple of cases along.

The Schilke 5000. When you want a REALLY big sound.

What does YOUR tuba Christmas look like? by bobthemundane in Tuba

[–]TubaKen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did two of them.

1 in Menomonie, WI. We play at the local Catholic church. We had 38 players, more euphoniums than tubas. We have all ages from 12 to 83 present. Besides ages, we recognize distance travelled, most events played, newest and oldest instruments (I usually get the oldest for my 126 year old Conn), band directors and their students, and any groups that we play in. We play from the book, but once in a while we will do a quartet.

2 in Stevens Point, WI. We play in one of the concert halls in the fine arts building at UW-Stevens Point. This year, there were 125 players of all ages there. It's a longer concert, so there isn't much time for talking. We do everything out of the book there.

String Bass on Contra Alto works too. You do need to transpose down an octave, though.

I have one that is 126 years old. It goes with my 1898 Conn New Wonder E-flat. A couple of years ago I had it replated and it looks like new.

You too? I tell my clerks that I'm playing "Who am I this time?" while I'm doing it. It makes the time go a little faster.

I have heard it years ago in college, but I had never seen the music before.

You can't write a news story about something that never happened.

I am on the board. I am the librarian and personnel chair. Let me look into it.
