Hello

Came across this site:

Live streaming the Australian Nationals Brass Band comp. next weekend, and showing a nice video of MNOZIL brass - their tuba player does to his tuba what I often want to do to mine!!

I'll be there!!!

My band is making the journey from Tasmania to Adelaide for the weekend. Unfortunately, the streaming coverage doesn't extend to the lower grades (we're in C-grade), but the A-grade own choice should be an entertaining afternoon.

Our test piece is Purcell Variations as played here by Black Dyke:

follow the link on the side for part 2.

When I first heard it, I thought it was a ripping Eupho part. Imagine my surprise when I found most of the real fun bits in the Eb tuba part. Has been good fun working it up, and although we obviously won't be anywhere near the quality of Black Dyke, we're having a red hot go!

I'll be there blurting away in "B" grade. Long drive to play half an hour of music.

Good luck guys. I hope to catch some of it.

I'll be honking away in A-grade as well... catch you guys at the pub afterwards

A grade is buying?

happy to shout you a pot if you can track me down...!

Look for a blue coat.
