Ideas for a big tuba section

Post by Kingofspadesx200 »

Next marching season my high school tuba section will be have at least 12 players, possibly 16. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for any fanfares, dances, or anything else that would help us get better or anything fun to do.

Sonic Boom. One of the greatest tuba fanfares ever written. It's more suited for a trio with solo feature, (possibly section leader?) but it's loads of fun to play. Gotta transcribe it yourself, though.

KiltieTuba's Tuba Fanfare IS a Sonic Boom transcription, I believe.
