OH MY! WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE! :D :shock: :twisted: :tuba:

On second thought, maybe Charlie Vernon has words to describe this. :wink:

Wow. Usually you see something like this overdubbed by a high schooler with spotty intonation. I was not expecting a legit arrangement played by professionals and recorded using quality video and audio devices.

Pertinent Tubainfo:
…because I know you care. :D

First half has 6 tubas, second half has 3 tubas/3 cimbassi

Tuba equipment:
…and feel free to correct, I think this is what it was!
(and I don't know the makes of the cimbassi)

3 parts: Fs on top part, 4/4 & 6/4 CC on middle part, 4/4 & 6/4 CC on bottom part

Bove - B&S? F (Cimbasso on second half)
Johns - Meinl Weston? F (Cimbasso on second half)
Kainuma - Meinl Weston 6/4 CC BAT (Cimbasso on second half)
Rojas - vintage Alexander 4/4 CC
Kerrigan - Rusk/Walters really-vintage Conn/York (BBb cut to CC) 6/4 BAT
Exley - vintage Miraphone 186 4u 4/4 CC

Personally, I didn't like the music, though of course, it was performed excellently. Just not my "thing."

That must have been a ton of fun. Did you all play anything else together while you were there?

Just this, we met for 90min to do the whole thing. (It was just that small window last Tuesday when we could get a bunch of guys to be available at the same time.)

Everyone had a lot of fun getting together, and if the video is viewed enough, a sequel wouldn't be out of the question.

While not exactly tuba related, this picture sums up why I had a good time:

The next time you see George tell him we really miss hearing him in Atlanta! :(
