The Sousaphones sound pretty good.

Somebody might be able to tell which sousaphone model and maybe even which player.

What is the fun about players getting injured?

What is the fun about players getting injured?

Nothing at all. Some people are just incredibly immature, including tuba players (hard to believe, I know). For someone to call that their "favorite" video is very insensitive to the soldiers who got injured that day.

Klaus, videos of people injuring themselves has become an industry in America today. There are countless shows on our television devoted to the subject. I've never seen what is so funny about it, but I just assumed I was the only one who feels that way since it is so incredibly popular in this country. C'est la vie.

[THE TUBA]

I didn't read where Tubadork said that clip was funny. Many of my favorite things are not funny at all.

Perhaps it is his favorite because of the band's strength of character to stay in rank, putting themselves in personal risk because of discipline and a pride for the activity.

Ok, I just gave a lengthly answer and lost it all. GGGGRRRRRR! After an alcoholic beverage I will try again.

I was a member of the Women's Army Corps band from Sept 1971 to June 1974. It was my ticket to college.
