First Annual Sousaphone "Leg-Off" Contest at Honk!

Post by David Richoux »

Some silliness that usually only Sousaphone players seem to get into (and one Contra!)

Some parts may be NSFW, but mostly just silly.
Really sorry I had to miss the festival this year...

I am guessing, but it was probably an impromptu challenge after the final concert and farewell dinner. Each player (chosen by alphabetical order) had 30 seconds to show off their playing ability and gams. There didn't seem to be any judging.

I think there may have been a bit of drinking or other imbibing beforehand, but I don't have any facts to back that up.
