NABBA contest pieces tuba parts

Post by Alex C »

Anybody got pdf's of the Eb and/or BBb tuba parts to NABBA contest pieces from 2-3 previous years? I'd like to get a copy if possible.

Thanks.

I have only seen Championship level parts. I enjoy the technical challenge these parts have, so if other levels have similar challenges having them would be appreciated also.

I already picked up Year of the Dragon which is quite a challenge to play at the indicated tempo (OK, "quite a challege" is a huge understatement). I've played a lot of music in my career, nothing is as technically demanding as brass band parts; solos, orchestral music, quintet parts, quartets, band music... it would surprise a lot of people.
