TubeNet

I have been asked to sit in with an orchestra doing a Halloween concert (Night on Bald Mountain, yadda yadda...)

The group is encouraging members to dress up for the show in costume. I myself will probably not but I am looking for some ideas to possibly decorate the horn. Anybody got any good ideas, pictures, or stories to share that I can shamelessly steal?

They're never going to see me behind the Neptune anyway...

Our orchestra does this every year. I was a golfer last year and put some clubs in my bell.

I've never really worried about it, but a Frankenstein or Dracula would be relatively low effort costume-wise. Were you around when I marched Oscar the Grouch - I do not advise that.

Ben I am sure I would have remembered that. Tell me you have a picture somewhere...

I try to go dressed as a tuba player.

Apparently some TubeNetter’s wear their Bald Mountain outfit 24/7/52.

Stoffhose! Bvadr!

But of course easier to dry-clean if one is a founding member of the Hosenscheißer lodge.

I think you should dress as a beer maiden.

Attach a broken baton and go as a semi-conductor.

green bow tie (when long tie is called for)

Not cat hair, golden retriever hair (see avatar). Considering how many times I have gigs that require a tux, a black suit or pit black, I have more or less given up trying to remove all the gold hairs.

I certainly hope that is directed at the OP! LOL

That wasn't really aimed at anyone. I knew I wouldn't do it and I figured that some one would post the beer maiden picture again. It is October.

I have no idea....

Your little student certainly got everthing right for an open sound.

Be sure whatever you do does not need face makeup around the mouth! I have had some very blurry effects after a bit of playing (even with proper setting powder!)

(how do clowns that play instruments do it, anyway?)
