http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xq22zfgruzg The Colorado Brass Band with Frank Hilligas on tenor horn performing the Concierto de Aranjuez. Can't see me but I'm in the Eb section on the right side of the band next to the 3rd cornets.
Here are a couple of short excerpts from this year's 4th of July concert that the Philadelphia German Brass Band played at Bethany Beach, DE. The concert was recorded live so you might hear some audience sounds. They sound way better through headphones or a speaker system rather than just the computer's tiny speakers. Even though the pictures show a Mirafone 186 CC, I used a Yamaha YEB-321. I didn't have current pics when I made the slideshows.
This is something the US Navy Band put together for last year's Mid-West clinic. Not too much tuba viewage, and they cut off the Strauss right before the tuba section comes in and lays waste (musically, of course), but a good overview of what the Navy Band does, from start to finish.

I am accompanying guitar/vocalist John Reno at a house concert in Seattle.
We flew out from Mobile, Alabama. My tuba was shipped out a week earlier via U.P.S. ground. Tuba got out there and back with no new damage other than what 70 years and my playing have done to it.
This is one of my two year old daughter playing on our Bundy trombone we got a garage sale for $30. She sounds pretty darn good on it! Makes a bigger sound than some of the 6th graders I'm teaching...
Here's one of me playing a bit on the organ at the Mormon Tabernacle in Salt Lake City. It was only for a few minutes, but it was a great few minutes! Sorry for the poor quality, my wife thought quickly and pulled out our digital camera, so at least I have some record of it!
This is my bass/contrabass trombone comparison. My camera does/did suck (it's gone now) and I could only do live uploads, so my videos are not at all polished and are kind of out there. The contra is out of state now being borrowed and slicked up so I am looking forward to getting that back and making a halfway decent video for once! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PaPnkCAYO4
The shorter tuba video is my first try with the camera and the longer one is a response to someone wanting to hear pedal notes (yes low B really opens up!).
