Maybe Bras’ Brass rather than Brass Bras unless they have a Madonna rep.

Questions from crappy sources will attract crappy replies. And then the worst ones haven’t been written.

Yet.

Performance Cancelled (Watch the auditorium empty out in amusement!)

1337 2bas (For the Internet savvy)

Try refusing to name yourself. People won't know what to do! (Not great for publicity)

After I posted my ideas, I mentioned the question of your name, to my wife. Her two suggestions were:

1) Tubas Divas

2) Tubas Angelicas

She is better at naming things than I. She was a math major, not a humanities major. Would that account for her ability to come up with nice names? Still wondering.

Best of fortune to you.

I have enjoyed reading the suggestions so far:
"Low Blow" - might possibly work in an all - guys quartet.
"The Bodacious Oom pahs" - one can only hope.
"Tubas Angelicas" - very pretty.
Kevin Hendric's "Confluence Quartet" - very sophisticated.
I'm not sophisticated. I would pay money to go hear "Chicks With Brass" .

"Tubas Angelicas" gets my vote. Classy, dignified, feminine.

That's for sure -- it's a Yammie 642, isn't it? Very nice horn.

Networks of sleazy elderly TubeNetters have their benefits like the illustration of this doctoral YEP-842(?). Makes one accept the raggy cut-off from the skirt.
