Tuba Haiku

Post by Alex C »

From yesterday's practice:

Air is expended
I long to sing the whole phrase,
But I never will.
City Intonation Inspector - Dallas Texas
"Holding the Bordognian Fabric of the Universe together through better pitch, one note at a time."

Practicing results in increased atmospheric CO2 thus causing global warming.

Beer and brats -- how nice!
Rotors chop the larger bits,
Pass the small ones through.

So much potential,
The tuba has to dazzle.
Don't play like a pig.
