I heard an outdoor patriotic concert by the Roman Festival Brass last evening. It was 100 on my car thermometer at the start. Fortunately they were in the shade. They have 3 more to play this week. It looks like it may top 104 for one of them. I could hardly bear to listen in that heat. Thank goodness I didn't have to play.

That's my boy Casey Thomas in the euphonium section! No surprise he's still bringing the heat!

Hi-
My hat is off to you guys marching or playing outside in the sun when it is over 100 degrees--I don't know how you guys do it--I would melt into a big puddle.....

Is this the same Casey Thomas that owns Solid Brass Music Publishing? The euphs were excellent BTW.

The very same. I haven't heard Casey play euphonium in 5+ years, but he is a monster trombonist and I'm sure he can still knock 'em dead on the euph.

Ok, I didn't realize he(Solid Brass) was in GA. I ordered some stuff a few years ago and I thought it came from CA.

As I understand it (secondhand info here, haven't seen him in a while), Solid Brass is a fairly recent buy for Casey, so orders prior to this year may well have come from parts unknown.

Dick Wuopio recently retired and sold his excellent company to Casey. Dick was based in California for many years. Solid Brass is re-stocking and promises to continue to be a go-to brass music outlet.

I'm looking for a tuba quartet transcription of The Monkees - "Zilch".

Does anyone know if there is one out there?

I assume you are speaking euphomistically.

No, but the depositing the check makes him euphoric.

Must be something in the air! I have six F horns and four euphoniums... beat all to hell... and all from one school... about half finished in the shop at the moment.

It really amazes me how kids keep finding creative ways to destroy otherwise good horns! These particular horns are all 'step-up' Yamahas and deserve better treatment.

From the same school came a pair of King 1140 tubas. Not my choice when it comes to tubas but nonetheless not cheap horns to kick around in the bleachers!
