Well howdy Tube Net folks,
This Saturday, October 26th, at 10am Central, From Denton TX. I will attempt to play for 5 straight hours to raise money for the Semper Fi Fund. The Semper Fi Fund is an organization that helps wounded veterans with expenses that are not covered by the VA. More information can be found here:

The 27th, my wife is running the Marine Corps Marathon in DC for the organization, and I wanted to help. Without having to run a lot. So I will attempt to injure my self through playing instead of running circles around DC. I have a couple of friends that will help me by playing euphonium duets with me, and maybe some quartets, and even some other instruments will join in as well. If no one else is there, then I will be playing some etudes and solos. If you are lucky, I might even bring out the Ophicleide. The page is below, and I figured that I would post it up on tube net, because if I didn't I would probably chicken out at the last minute.
If you are not able to donate, please pass this link off on social media, Facebook and the like. You might have not heard of the Semper Fi Fund, because it has a very low overhead. It spends less than 4% on administration, and only 2% on fundraising. The majority of the work is done by volunteers. I'll risk having a bunch of people watch me make a fool out of myself sight reading on the internet, but the more people know about the organization the more people it can help.
