What's with the blue trombone sitting in front of the curtain behind the trumpet/trombone row in the first part of the concert tonight? P-Bone maybe? ... or just the lighting?

I've seen it a couple times now and it is definitely blue. I missed the first part of the concert so I can't say if it was used then, but I'm hoping to see it used in the last bit.

In my party band, our trombone player used a red P-bone for the same reasons: holiday fun.

My Selmer 'signet' (fiberglass) parade sousaphone is painted red, white, and blue. Nuttin' wrong with plastic!

This is what George Curran, bass trombonist of the New York Phil said last night on facebook!
Making my tenor/P-Bone premiere with the Philharmonic tonight! The Phil will be playing live on TV at 8 pm with a red, blue, and green bone section. Happy New Year to everyone!

I really, really miss hearing George on a regular basis. In my book he is the finest bass trombonist playing right now, bar none! He can blow you away, both literally and figuratively.
