You missed Dinklage by 50Km. It's 50Km South of Oldenburg.
Many Dutchies would say it's not close, but that's a perspective you grow when traveling 200Km brings you halfway your country

Halfway in 200 km ? That's only on the longest axis. The same distance east to west will bring you from the German border to the bottom of the North Sea

I believe that Hannover is the biggest Schützenfest in the world. But although it is only 80 miles away from Dinklage I didn't make it so far to be there.
Anyway: Back to posting pitctures. This one is from the annual meeting of almost all marching bands in our county which takes place every second Sunday in May. This year the tuba players of all 19 bands gathered for a couple of pieces of nice music to show the rest of the musicians that we can play more than oom-paa. Untortunately we were too many to fit all into the picture.

Foreground is the National Brass Band Championship Trophy.
I actually didn't see the gigantic trophy in the middle, and only the top of that chap's tuba bell...and I though "what IS that thing?!" Oh...whoops...it's a trophy in front of a tuba.

I thinks that Sam has played some "different" tubas in the past but that would have been a weird one

Great photo--I was in the 1st Team band in the 80's and all we had were King 2341s; they were slowly replaced with Yamaha 641s
