If he played with more vibrato he'd fit right in, with a D grade brass band

Can't be a pro audition, my guess is college level. Everyone has to start somewhere.

Re: I've overheard some pretty atrocious tuba auditions, but
1. the toe tapping is annoyingbloke wrote:I think Sousa might sue!
2. the sound quality of the camera and mic is bad
3. the arrangement doesn't to really emphasize the different parts of the music (the bass, accompaniment , and solo are all in a similar register)
But,
Given that they are in High School, I'd want to hear them again in a few years as I have heard undergrad double reed players who were far worse than this.

Re: I've overheard some pretty atrocious tuba auditions, but
Hah hah, the first one had me laughing out loud. I listened all the way through in order to get the most out of it. IMHO, It really might be a spoof.
