Yes; BAT stands for "Big A** Tuba," though I think it is supposed to be "big-a**ed" and not "big a**" (I have never figured this finer point out and my grammarian grandmother passed away a few years ago so I cannot ask her . . . )

:lol:

In case you cannot figure it out (doh!), the BAT is on the left and the SAT (YFB-621) is on the right.

The BAT should always be on the right!

Dale,
I you even have an interest, I'd encourage you to go. A job this size may only have night and weekend services. You don't know what the response will be, and, as Wade says, PM's sometimes have trouble even maintaining sub lists. Likely their contract says that they have to advertise, anyway.

Sometimes "accurate enough" is "good enough" to get your foot in the door!
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

Thanks everyone! It feels good to get ANY job, and I can't wait for the next season to begin.

Congratulations to Dan Castillo and Joe Walsh for advancing to the final round. I met some other tubists that day and everyone was friendly. Other than a little bleed-through in the stage area, this was a well-run audition.

Bloke: (gasp) pm me and let me know where you heard me play!
