NOLA tuba players
Posted: Sat Sep 10, 2005 11:34 am
Two I know of have been accounted for:
Matt Perrine (as reported in other post bearing his name)
Robert Nunez, tubist of the Lousiana Philharmonic and Tulane University, and former AJ student.
Robert evacuated successfully with his mother and brother and is staying with friends in Houston.
Both of these great tubists are in need of help. And I am sure there are more...
...reports of others anyone? We all need to do what we can do to help these folks.
Below are three organizations that are assisting NOLA musicians.
Do what you can.
***NOAH (New Orleans and Houston)***

Katrina victims and their families back on their feet and playing. You
can donate directly through the site.

**New Orleans Musicians' Clinic (NOMC)**
( http://wwoz.org/clinic/) The NOMC is an amazing grassroots
organization that provides free medical care to musicians in New
Orleans. They have relocated to Lafayette and are trying to
re-establish themselves and start helping displaced musicians. Their
website is out of date because the server is still down. Until then,
