Does anyone know of a dueling banjos like piece, but for two tubas? I was looking for one for a school variety concert, so it can't be SOOOPER LOOONG! I would prefer suggestions of free music, but non-free music is OK too. If you don't know of any, then cool ideas would be appreciated, as I may also just write one myself.

Maybe a tuba/euph arrangement of Schiedt's "Galliard Battaglia" from the Battle Suite?

For any of you out there that was involved in the Walt Disney World All-American College Band in the 80's you will remember a fun arrangement of country tunes that was played on Main Street that had "Dueling Tubas" in the middle. As per the usual Disney Schtick we squared off ala a gunfight in the old west and blasted this thing out on a daily basis. It was quite good and had all the quirks of the original. I always wondered if I could get away wearing tighty-whities ONLY while playing it but figured I'd just scare the kids.

I digress. The tune is fairly straight ahead and should be easy enough to play by ear after a couple of listenings. I have to admit that this is a pretty funny idea. You could dress up as trailer trash and have a good old time with it.

What were some of the additions to the music? Because, I think if I just play a direct transcription, the audience would get a little bored.

Apparently this bit was gone by 1987, at least in Orlando. We had a fun country medley, but no Dueling Tubas.

Would have been fun to "sqaure off" against Mike Roylance.
