Ditto. I think he enjoys his solo euphonium career on the euphonium way too much, though. Who can blame him, anyway? It's going so well.

Roger Oyster was a euph player in the Marine Band and is now Principal trombone of the Kansas City Symphony.

My experience is, as soon as you say, "It can't POSSIBLY be done," then someone will do it. With that said, I don't know of any examples off the top of my head

To reiterate:

Primary euphonium player that doubles on bass trombone and wins bass trombone orchestra audition.

You seemed to have changed your criteria back and forth. To quote yourself:

harold wrote:What I said was that there are no doublers that play trombone well enough to win an orchestra audition. I then challanged the poster and any of the viewers to name any euphonium or tuba players that double on trombone that have won an orchestra trombone audition.

As a matter of fact, Jeffrey Peterson is one of those people who was a euphonium player and is now principal trombonist of a very good symphony orchestra. Besides, why are we debating this, anyway? Just as it has been said before, just because it hasn't happened, doesn't make it impossible.

Dave Steinmeyer, lead trombone for the Airmen of Note for something like 15 years before he was bandleader for another decade or so, has been known to do many a bass bone spot in other big bands. Once, he subbed for a friend who loaned him a bass bone since he didn't have his. The horn turned out to not be in good shape, he used his straight, .505" horn to do the job instead, playing false tones for the low stuff. The story goes that he still sounded like he was playing on a large bore bass bone and balanced the section perfectly!

Getting back on point...

Jeremy Van Hoy, bass trombonist of the Colorado Springs Symphony, is a former Falcone winner on Euphonium, and still may be a soloist on it when the occasion presents itself, as far as I know.

If you are ever in the Jacksonville area, take a lesson with him. He will prove that playing high IS effortless. He guarantees a jump in your range by the end of a first lesson. I went to him here and there when I was working on lead bone. According to him, euphonium is easier to play high. I still haven't found it easier to play as high as my .485" bore trombone.
