When in May? I'll be there May 5-12. We could have an official TubeNet "grab a beer" session...

Re: Tuba related activities in Orlando in May?
Are there no music shops that any one could recommend as being more tuba centric than the rest I will be allowed one day to indulge my hobby and don't want to waste itby going to a store found on google only to find it full of guitars and little or no brass sheet music.
Or if anyone has any non theme park recommendations for a good day out please share.

You should email Robert Carpenter (goes by Bob). Really nice guy who has done a ton of work with all the Kanstul tubas. I bet he would let you play a few and get some beers too.

Re: Tuba related activities in Orlando in May?
thank you for the suggestion from looking at their website I doubt I can play at their standard in treble clef but I will see if they are open to a listening visit.knuxie wrote:How about sitting in with the Brass Band of Central Florida? Email Robin Sisk at UCF.
Anybody know of any marching band field shows or rehearsals that are open to public viewing ?
