Narragansett, RI Tubaphonia Sat. Dec 8th
Posted: Fri Dec 07, 2012 12:20 am
If you're in the area this is always a good show, very much like a Tuba Christmas but often with a broader selection of music, and good food. If you go you won't be dissapointed. Additionally, it is relatively close to the Conneticut Tuba Christmas happening on the same day, with one of the same conductors. You'll have fun!
From the brochure:
The Christmas Tubaphonia concert will be held in Narragansett, Rhode Island, on Saturday, December 8th, at St. Peter's by-the-Sea Church. All tubas, baritones, euphoniums, serpentines, ophecleides, alto horns, cimbassos, helicons, and, of course, sousaphones are welcome. Registration begins at 4:30. We will rehearse at 5 pm and eat at 6:45. The concert will begin at 7:30 pm. A fee of $5.00 includes eats, a tubaphonia commemorative button, and music, both bass and treble clefs.
Players need to bring their instruments, music stands, and "Carols for a Merry Tubachristmas", if you have a copy. Our conductor will be Gary Buttery, nationally renowned tubist who has led us in many prior Tubaphonia events. We will feature both holiday favorites and Christmas carols including many sing-a-long numbers. The concert is free to the public so encourage your friends and relations to come, enjoy, and join in with this impressive assemblage of lower conical brass instruments. We especially like to include younger horn players, middle school and up, as this is a wonderful introduction for students to associate with players of all ages and, perchance, begin to realize the lifelong rewards music participation brings. Young and old will also appreciate the opportunity to vocalize their favorite selections.
For specific questions, or if you are just curious about the concert, please contact the coordinator, Colin

Location: St Peter's by-the Sea Episcopal Church, 72 Central St., Narragansett, Rhode Island 02882
All the info I have is included above I'm just passing it on for interested Tubists. I will not be there and likely won't be on the computer much till then so if you've a question I'm afraid I won't be much help.
Thanks, Rob
