I literally just got finished playing this show last week. It's a fun show, fairly easy tuba part. If no bass, play the bass line down an octave. Highest note is a middle C and it's not held long, but nothing leads to it... dry first note. Mostly oohm paa stuff.

Tempo is heavily riding on bassline and percussion so be very controlled about it. Enjoy!

Chicago tuba part, the straight poop

Post by Sean Greene »

If you're playing bass AND tuba, make sure you do plenty of stretches, use a small tuba and practice your arco.
