Vienna (Virginia, USA) Community Band on March 3, 2013.

Which tubas?

I am fairly sure about the Besson 982 Eb. And the big one with the nail polish very well be a Willson CC. But I have no ideas about the ladyphone and the left wing.

The band are based in Mount Brown in Dublin close to Guinness Brewery the structure in the background is more than likely a leather tannery as the bands nickname was the Skinners Band due to the bulk of the members being leather workers.
It has existed under the name of St James since 1800 and has appeared in records as a Band of Musike going back to 1737.
Before the creation of the Irish Army School of music in the late 1920s the band provided music at many state occasions including the state funeral of Michael Collins.

Very cool! Thanks for sharing.

Far left is a Yamaha Custom 822 4p + 1r in F. I used it for most of our concert comprising marches.

The Willson is a rare model 3050RZ, with 4+ 1 Rotax valves in CC. I brought it in for The Montagues and the Capulets, from Prokoviev's Romeo and Juliet. The black fingerpads were on the paddles when I got the horn nearly new. All reports were that the walls rattled with the pesante pedal tones down to Db.

Jessica has a new BBb, and our new member with the tuba tie has a new BBb St Pete I believe, but I will have to check on the models.

Andrew's tuba on the far right indeed is the Besson 982 Soverign EEb.

Good deal! I miss playing and wish there was a brass band around here. Sadly, I don't think I'll be able to make it out this summer for Gunnison

This was my son's low brass section last school year: Final concert of the 2012-13 Rolling Hills Middle School (Los Gatos, CA) Symphonic Band. My son was the section leader (blonde, with his own MW 25); the second chair tuba player is the dark haired young gentleman with the schools brand-new Holton 4-valve tuba (thanks, bloke!).

Tim Olt and me - tuba section in the Frank Simon Band (from a couple of years ago). Matching Gnageys.

[Steve Marcus]

Matching Gnageys.

I didn't know that there were such things. I thought that each Gnagney was its own individual "work of art." (Tongue only slightly in cheek...Everyone who plays one of Sam's creations has had great things to say about them or has kept their mouth shut with any criticism. The only Gnagney-influenced horn that I've ever had the pleasure to play, albeit briefly, was the big Martin-Gnagney BBb once owned by Mitch Williams and now listed for sale by Blake Cooper here on TN.)
