Re: Drum Corps Tuba Spot Open
Before I aged out, if you said you were interested in a DC Tuba spot, they'd throw you out on your ear. Do they call contras, tubas now?

Re: Drum Corps Tuba Spot Open
Just for future reference (and not for any other ulterior motive)...the singular for "corps" is "corps."
Alex...yeah, you hear the word "tuba" in DCI a lot more these days. In my day, as well, it was unthinkable. They also often call the upper brass "trumpets" now. *shudder*
Todd, who misses the two-valve instruments in G.
