Why not bring back the Helicon for marching?

[Tuba Guy]

i like it...in the back of my picture, you can sorta see my Getzen's case...it's got a ton of stickers on it too (and a lot that I haven't gotten around to putting on yet)

Ever since I was in a beer tent in 40F weather- raining outside the tent- drinking a wide variety of local brewed beers from a glass that said "Mustache rides- 25 cents" and hearing an oompah band where the tuba player had a beat up Eb helicon, I've known what I wanted to do with my life. Some day: "Big Ben's Beer Barrel All-Stars" and I will be on helicon.

I have a dream...

If you find yourself in Austin, TX check out the "Wurst Band in Austin" featuring Dan Augustine on tuba (among others) at "Scholz Garten." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rb1MOCpAoaw I think they only play in May, June and September, Thursday evenings.http://www.scholzgarten.net/[/quote]

"The Oldest Bidness in Texas" I can dig it.
