Barroom Speculation: Future of tuba-ing Employment?

Post by dante jones »

Several topics come to mind for post-pandemic speculation:

*If & when North American symphonies and bands return to their schedules, will there be a crush of auditioners going to LA, Buffalo, Richmond, Princeton, the US Army bands, maybe one weekend after another? (does anyone know if St. Louis is still scheduled for next month?)

*Will there be a large number of retirements at this time a year from now from universities and orchestras?

*What are the chances those institutions make those jobs adjunct and per-service, respectively?

*How much should we north american teachers encourage our students to relocate to Asia/Europe to work as tubists? Or we as individuals?

*What kinds of entrepreneurial gimmicks (listen i'm a wrestling fan, I use that term endearingly) will be most successful (able to be replicated easily) as future avenues of employment for tubists?
