New Sousa Band -Green Bay & Aurora IL-Willie Clark soloing

Post by bisontuba »

Hi-
If anyone is in the area this weekend, the New Sousa Band with Keith Brion will be performing on Friday, Oct. 5th, 730PM at West High School in Green Bay, WI. Soloists include Willie Clark on Tuba on The Elephant & The Fly and The Whistler & His Dog. Concert is repeated on Saturday, Oct 6th, 730PM at Crimi Auditorium at Aurora University in Aurora, IL.
Tubas will be Willie Clark, Jess Lightner, and yours truly.
Euphoniums will be Earle Louder & John Mueller.

Hope to see some Tubenet folks there.

Regards-
Mark

I have tickets for the Crimi Hall concert and am looking forward to it.

What era of Sousa's band will the band be representing?

Will there be a Lady in White?

Are you going to be using Raincatchers?

Is it true that Sousa's last band only used Raincatchers?

Hi-
All will use BBb tubas and also use rain catcher(s) too!
A cornet, piccolo, and female vocalist will also be featured.
Different eras of the Sousa Band will be presented.
Enjoy the concert!
