Hello, TubeNet!
We got a lot of great name suggestions...and a lot of not-so-great ones, as I predicted. I am proud to announce our name:
Sweet Thunder Quartet!
The name actually comes from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, but more people might recognize it from the Duke Ellington tune "Such Sweet Thunder." And the person who came up with it was actually me, and I am forfeiting the $50 prize and depositing it in the Sweet Thunder Post-Gig Beer Fund.
Thank you for your suggestions, and wish us luck on our debut concert tomorrow morning at the Midwest Regional Conference (a.k.a. Tubonium) at Gustavus Adolphus College!

Even better if you had used one of the suggestions circulating behind the scene.tubatooter1940 wrote:We were so hoping you would use one of our wonderful suggestions.
Anyway: Congratulations! A TE 4-tet comprising a drummer must have potential. And if there are misshaps, the doctor isn’t far away.
