Having known Demondrae and Richard for many years, I think this is a fantastic opportunity for all in the Metroplex and surrounding area.

I think Brian Bowman's students should consider making the trek.

I've heard a MIDI file of the Barbara York Euphonium piece, and it is FANTASTIC!! (Check Cimarron Music Press for availability).

BTW: Be sure to check out the Willson Tuba Quartet at the upcoming 2008 ITEC in Cincinnati. We're premiering several works in conjunction with BVD/Cimarron Music Presses.

What kind of a place is this PepsiCo Rectal Hall, Richard. I might want to attend, but I'm just a bit leary about what might be required to attend.

Ray,

PepsiCo is our recital hall, but you have to bring your own soft drinks! BYOSD!

This is the part which concerned me, Richard.

Glad to hear it!

World Premiere of the York Euph Sonata. Very Cool!!!!!!

This is my first time back on TubeNet since this impressive recital. Wow! Can he play?! I also got to meet "richland tuba 01," as well as a number of other fine young folks at TCU. Thanks, Richard, for bringing this outstanding performer, and fine young man, to Texas.

As it turned out, the performance was in a recital hall. What a relief!
