Changes for the Sponsor area (and a new Pro area)

[Uncle Buck]

- There is not, never has been, and never will be a "tuba player celebrity".

I think Damon Bryson kinda might qualify. He's pretty likely to be recognized on the street, even if those who recognize him generally wouldn't know his name.

As a relatively recent poster, but long time lurker I (like others, apparently) never knew of the existence of these off-line (to most...) discussions. But, as an amature player and adjunct instructor/private teacher I'd really like take in as much useful information as I can from discussions with and between folks making a living at this trade/art. Is there the possibility of "read only" access? This could limit the type of immature postings previously mentioned and still provide access to -- what may or may not -- be good information to use as amatures or pass on to students?

Was it always there? I thought us young folks were the ones that cried for "safe zones".

Dillentate, or pro. There is no in between. No soup for you!

[Dan Tuba]

I wasn't aware of the "professional" designation. I have been serving on active duty in the U.S. Army as a tuba player for the past 15 years.

Cool, man!

It was either step in or be a board for spammers spamming each other. (I prefer the direct question, so thank you for that.)

I like the new pic.

ME TOO!
