Here's a clip from the TubaMeisters at the 34th Annual TubaMeister Christmas, on the San Antonio Riverwalk:

That was great Ray. What's with the dancing sousaphones across the river? It looks like tuba Christmas broke out.

Well, it's very similar to a TubaChristmas, but we call it a TubaMeister Christmas. Google it, and you'll get a lot of hits. We did three tunes in the middle of the concert. Otherwise, there were 156 performers for the other 14 tunes. You know how it is with sousaphone players.

Very festive. Thank you and "Merry Christmas!".

When did Al start playing an oval? It adds a nice bright sound.
