Barroom Speculation: Future of tuba-ing Employment?
Posted: Tue Jul 28, 2020 11:41 pm
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?
Take one, take all, suggest your own topic, but this is the place to air it all out!
