When in May? I'll be there May 5-12. We could have an official TubeNet "grab a beer" session...

Are there no music shops that any one could recommend as being more tuba centric than the rest I will be allowed one day to indulge my hobby and don't want to waste itby going to a store found on google only to find it full of guitars and little or no brass sheet music.

Or if anyone has any non theme park recommendations for a good day out please share.

You should email Robert Carpenter (goes by Bob). Really nice guy who has done a ton of work with all the Kanstul tubas. I bet he would let you play a few and get some beers too.

thank you for the suggestion from looking at their website I doubt I can play at their standard in treble clef but I will see if they are open to a listening visit.

Anybody know of any marching band field shows or rehearsals that are open to public viewing ?
