Tuba conferences in the deep South?

jmerring · Post by **jmerring** » Mon Dec 20, 2004 2:34 pm

Is there ever a tuba conference (like Midwest) held in Florida or Georgia? I would certainly like to play test horns (I play a Miraphone 186 BBb 4v) to get an idea of what HB, PT, etc sound and feel like. The conferences sound like a great time to be had by all.

Hey Joe!

Thanks a ton for your help in wooing the elusive Sophisticated Yankee demographic!

The South Eastern Tuba Euphonium Conference will take place in Athens, GA March 24-26. There will be dealers such as Baltimore Brass, Custom and the Tuba Exchange.

Learn more at the conference website- http://www.arches.uga.edu/~dzerkel/sertec/index.html

Feel free to e-mail me at dzerkel@uga.edu with any and all question.

Best,
DZ

It is indeed Easter weekend, but I have scheduled the last event to end by 6:00 on Saturday evening. Perhaps a little too late to race back to Memphis, but most other folks should be able to hustle back home.

Mueller is for sure headed down... maybe you should check in with him re. travel plans.

That impoves my chances of going :)
My son attends a christian school, and will have that Friday off.

Well, that also improves my chances of going. It would be a 675 mile drive, but I love Atlanta and could make a trip out of it! I have been to Athens, before (after we installed an organ at Toccoa Falls) and found it to be a very nice college town. I look forward to it!
Thank you.

Joe,
Thanks for that timely use of the classic tuba poster. Bubba, there are probably a lot of us over here that would like to meet you, and I'll put out this offer - if you show up to SERTEC in Georgia in March, I'll buy your dinner one night, and I'm not talking McD's, either. Now, I hope that 100 tuba players don't come up to me at SERTEC saying that they are Joe Sellmansberger

Doc, are you sure?

I thought this was Joe...

I also found a pic of him while in college...

The first image should be good for an ID...
