Need to borrow sousaphone in PHX on Nov. 14

Post by Tom Holtz »

Yo, Phoenix area...

I need to borrow a sousaphone for ASU's homecoming next weekend. It's a 1pm game, I can work out getting the horn and getting it back to you on Saturday. Gonna be a big group this year, horns will be in short supply. Can anyone hook me up?

Luckily for me, if you have an Eefer, that's a good option! Thanks, all.

I gather you are an Arizona State University alum, Tom. Surely, for a man of your professional background (e.g., US Marine Band DC), a huge university such as ASU would loan you one of their multitude of Sousaphones. I mean, what does ASU football band march--- 20-26 Sousaphones? They must have a spare somewhere on campus.

Yes, ASU will be perfectly happy to loan me a sousaphone. I'm asking around, though, because this year is the 100th anniversary of the marching band. Gonna be a big, big alumni group, and they're likely going to run out of gear this year. I'm just trying to help out a bit in advance.

I've known Chuck for a long time. Not sure he has a sousaphone, He does his dixieland on a Besson Eb, gotta love that! Thanks for the contact info, much appreciated.

Good Lord, Tom. Check this out. That University is much bigger than even I thought.
