Thank You.. I really like the group! Are they performing the same set for both indiana pa, and Beth...Pa.?? ....BB

[pgym]

The program title for both is "Happy Birthday," so, presumably, they will be substantially the same, if not identical.

I'll be attending one of their performances and I couldn't be more excited. My band director showed me their "Lonely Boy" video on YouTube one day and it was enthralling. I've been a fan ever since. The 25th can't come soon enough!

Whichever seat is closest to the tuba... that's what I did.

I'm assuming Gainesville Florida, not Gainesville, TX.

Yes. The Mnozil web site has a link to the school and box office.

Man oh Man!!! What a great time Amy(my wife) and I had !!!Mnozil was GREAT!!! 3 standing ovations!!(very hard to get up with my knee replacement<s>)I was right in the pit front row center!!! We had water thrown on us and I got a head full of dust from the dust mop!! (I was a little worried with my COPD)The horn playing was fantastic!! Edgey loud and controled!!What craftsmen!My hands still hurt from clapping.. The tuba player was great!! I think his horn is new the one I saw was brass and bigger.still it projected well for such a small bowed instrument... Amy was sooo glad I talked her into going.. The seats were very tight! Amy and I both are over 6 feet and on the big side 250 ish<s>..Got my feet stepped on a few times but it was worth it...There antics were great as was there playing ! How I would have loved talking to them!!I kept trying to see the make of his horn and trying to figure out which ones Harvey worked on..What a perfect day sooooo glad I went!!LOVED IT!!! only my second concert by the way<s>........BB

That's Ken K and bigbob who was at Lehigh yesterday. I have to say I enjoyed it as much as bigbob and I was in the second-to-last row of the balcony! Just a phenomenal show. If you all are anywhere near one of the venues on this tour, do yourselves a big favor and go.Everything you may have seen on youtube will not prepare you for just how darn well they play and what a great visual show it is. GO.

Did either of you get there early for the lobby show?

I heard the group in Grand Ledge MI. The performance was fantastic and fun. If this group is going to be near you get to a performance!!!

I arrived at 3:30 just in time to hear the last song but did not see them I did listen to the little jazz band outside the Music center....They need a little work but I liked their exuberance They had two sousaphones and I could barely hear them!! Made Mnozil sound all the better<s>....BB

It was a fabulous show! They are all wonderful players ... you can only imagine what they sound like if you've only heard them on YouTube. The low brass sound is HUGE (when they want it to be), but they also play very delicately. I was very impressed at the length of the show. In addition to all the music, there is running, jumping, fighting, crawling, lifting, rolling around ... it's got to be physically taxing to get through this show, to say nothing of playing superbly throughout all the antics. Towards the end of the first half I began to wonder if I had misread that there would be an intermission, but yes, that was a long first half, to be followed by a long second half, and then after all that, two great encores.

The house was sold out. If you don't already have tickets for this tour you probably can't get them now.
