Sousa wanted to borrow in Omaha, NE

Hello generous midwesterners,
I'll be playing in Omaha, NE on March 7th at Omaha Performing Arts with NYC brass band Slavic Soul Party. I'm looking to borrow a Sousaphone from the time of the soundcheck until the gig is done, probably from 5pm-12am. I can offer a free ticket, a cd, and lots of goodwill from the band.
I will take excellent care of the horn. No fireworks onstage. I don't eat sugary snacks while I play.

I'd prefer a name brand standard size 3 valve BBb Sousaphone (fiber ok) with neck and bits. Would also tolerate Eb sousa, BBb tuba 4/4 or smaller (I have to stand for this gig), or would love a helicon, especially a rotary F. School horns would work for me, as long as they play. Ugly is ok!

Looking forward to meeting Omahaers regardless,
Jacob

Your website says the Omaha gig is March 8. I might be able to help you out, but I need the right date.

Hey, thanks for pointing that out. I'll let the guys know to change the site. The correct date is indeed March 7th. We'll be in the twin cities on the 8th.
Thanks for offering to help, pm me please.
