Don,
Great post. So many people post something like this and don't put in the who, what, where, when, and a little why. Looking forward to being there for another year.
Anybody that is going to be there and is wishing to save shipping costs and/or $20 in tolls plus the 2 hours of driving time, just email to: Matt at dillonmusic.com and let me know what I can bring for you to try and buy. Remember we pack up when the big concert starts because we don't want to interfere with the concert and when it is over, families all want to get home to start the weekend.
I can only bring 4-6 tubas to this show so if you or a student have a particular tuba in mind, let me know.
Matt
