Anyone heard about All-Star HS or College ensembles?

I just heard that the University of Iowa Quartet has been accepted. Congratulations to Paul Miller, Chris Dickey, Jeremy Crawford and Michael Hart. (and good luck to you and the rest of the Symphony Band at Carnegie Hall tomorrow night!) I knew you could do it!

A question for all of you in the know. I am wondering how many were accepted to each competition. I got into the semis for the artist division of solo tuba but have never entered this competition before this year. Just wanted to know what it will be like.

Thanks

Anybody hear from the Jazz competition?

I am wondering how many were accepted to each competition.

Usually it's around the 10-18 person range for semi's. They usually accept a lot so that people will come to the conference. ($$$ in registration fees for competitors)

Just curious, anybody who sent in tapes out there but got turned down, do you still plan on attending the conference?

I am still planning on attending. I was bummed out when I didn't get in, but in all likelihood I'll enjoy the conference more this way. If I had competed but not done too well, I think I'd be a little rattled. Now I'll be going for just the learnin'

This is based on how it worked in 2006:

All the semi-finalists will either sign up for draw for times. Each person will play their piece(s) for the panel and after everyone has played, the finalists will probably be listed on a board somewhere. The finals are probably held the next day and they work pretty much the same way as the semi-finals except the winners are usually announced at a ceremony.

I've had the most fun doing it this way. It sortta sucks to have to ditch on a master class or going out for "milk and cookies"

to have to practice or compete. If you sent in a tape and didn't make it, you still get to go at the competitor's rate. At least, that's how it was in '06.

Has anyone heard any results on the mock orchestral audition yet? Just curious.

ahowle · Post by **ahowle** » Sun Mar 23, 2008 4:13 pm

Mock orchestral audition semifinalists were notified on 3/18.

bigbear19 · Post by **bigbear19** » Sun Mar 23, 2008 6:56 pm

Did they send out emails to those who did not make it because I received an email for our quartet (which did not advance) but no one from Texas Tech has received any news (good or bad) about the mock audition...

First post ever, here to say I made it in solo tuba young artist. Coming from the Denver area, anyway in this neck of the woods know how they're going there. Flying, or are there plans in the works for renting a van or something, pooling the cost and rotating drivers or something?

BopEuph · Post by **BopEuph** » Wed Mar 26, 2008 9:23 am

So, I remember, at least for Budapest (I can't remember if they did this for Denver) that they put a list up of who made it into all the divisions. I'm just wondering, is that going to happen this year? I'm just curious about who's competing this year.

I'm hearing that the jazz competition has been canceled. Is this true or just a rumor? Maybe it fell to the same fate as the Brass Quintet competition did at the Denver ITEC....not enough entries. If so, what a shame.

BopEuph · Post by **BopEuph** » Sat Mar 29, 2008 8:45 pm

That would be a shame. Last time there were a bunch of guys that did it. Also, Hank Feldman isn't going to be there this year from what I hear, and he had been running it for the last few years.

That could be the case in a few entries. In Budapest there were only three of us. We were the only ones to send in a tape. In Denver, there were a bunch.

I stopped doing it because I found my jazz voice on bass. I haven't tried jazz euph in years. If you really think about it, there really aren't that many guys that do jazz tuba/euphonium, and that's a shame. But it's just too hard to major in that, and play trombone in a big band (and in my case, learn bass too) and expect to get everything down. And, none of the combos really wants a euphonium player. If you play an instrument that's not traditionally in a genre you're crashing, you really better be killin.

Since Harvey Phillips and Rich Matteson, not many have really taken the task of really trying to get the jazz tuba/euph voice out there. There are some great players, like Marc Dickman and Tom Ball, but what they do keeps them busy enough.

On a related subject, since my understanding of the music language has improved, I'm thinking about heading back down that path with all my instruments. Think Marcus Miller on bass and bass clarinet.

What about Marty Erickson (Lawrence Univ, Appleton, WI) and Bill Huber (Trevecca Nazarene University, TN) and Joe Murphy (Univ of Cumberlands, KY) and Barry Green and Richard Perry (Southern Miss) and R Wintson Morris (Tenn. Tech) and Jon Sass (Austria)?

Did you miss Jerry Young's (UW-Eau Claire) hour long lecture recital on jazz tuba at ITEC 2006?

Or any of Bob Stewart's acomplishments? Or Howard Johnson?

I bet you would find that Sergio Carolino or Roland Szentpali or Allesandro Fossi (and analarmingly large number of professional tubists) would be just as comfortable in a jazz setting as a solo, chamber, or orchestral setting.

There's also all the european guys that play in Heavy Tuba. I think Roland Szentpali is one of them, actually.

Hopefully this opens your eyes to how many people there are that are playing jazz tuba successfully. There are tons more who are doing it successfully, but under the radar. Tons or brass bands (rebirth, dirty dozen, michael foster project, just to name a few) other groups like drums and tuba, and also just guys. Stefan Kacz (sp?) in the twin cities area won some of the jazz area competitions at ITEC 2006. So there are young minds out there doing this stuff too.

After ITEC 2006, everyone went back to the bar in the hotel and there was 4 hours straight of jazz tuba and euphonium being played while everyone just chilled out. It is a lot more prevalent than you think.

Next time, do a bit more research. You can google all this stuff and find it, along with more. I'm just saying. Don't need this to start something. Just putting this info out there.
