Re: brass band
I do use my Nirschl CC tuba to play the BBb Bass part. It isn't quite as authentic as a good ol' British Besson BBb tuba, but it's a great horn.thescog wrote:I thought you played cc

It would still be a long commute for you from Tallahassee, but Brass Band of Central Florida is an excellent ensemble. Check 'em out.ContraEuph wrote:Man I wish I lived closer as well. I would love to start getting into playing brass band music on euph. or bari. or even bass tromb.

Re: that is cool.. but
Two contrasting pieces of your choice--excerpts or entire pieces--approximately 10 minutes total of music. Although brass band literature is preferred, it certainly isn't necessary. You do not need an accompanist.Sheritonjames wrote:what are the audition requirements...
