Shostakovich 8, Meistersingers, and La Mer stand out as the big ones that I remember. Although I'm going to try to take the bass bone seat in the spring to let the severely more talented, younger player have a chance in our orchestra.

My season's over. I got to perform the Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto #2. Exciting times. The orchestra actually fell apart in the third movement a bit before the final cadenza. Had a great seat to enjoy the fireworks.

I am excited about performing 3 sets of 20 reps on the butterfly press.

Two orchestras and a grand total of 4 concerts with tuba, all before the New Year. Both groups are cutting back and I'm one of the guys that gets to sit most of the season out. The only sexy item programmed is the Verdi Requiem. It's on my wife's birthday, and I would have begged off, but no way can I do that under the circumstances.

One I have got coming up November I am excited about includes Wagner Meistersinger Overture and Brahms 2. Have not yet decided if to play concert on F, Eb, or CC?

I also have Holst Hammersmith suite with wind orchestra - that has a great low tuba part ideal for my Neptune :)
