A couple videos to start of the week!

[Casey Tucker]

TNFJ,

Good morning! I just thought a good way to start off the week would be to post a couple links to 'tuba videos'. The two:
1.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxkRbhUeDFM" target="_blank
-This is Moondance by John Stevens performed at the 1990 T.U.B.A. Sapporo Conference. The performers are (L-R) Roger Bobo, Dan Perantoni, Harvey Phillips, Warren Deck and conducted by John Stevens. The parts were written specifically for the performers as denoted in the parts (4th tuba was originally written for Gene Pokorny). This is an AWESOME video and I'm particularly fond of it because it will be on my senior recital this spring.

2.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Nymprfj ... re=related" target="_blank
-This is Roger Bobo on the Carson's Tonight Show and he's performing Romanian Dance No. 2. I've seen the other where he performed The Carnival of Venice but I can't ever remember seeing this one posted on the board. Of course, Mr. Bobo's performance is amazing and the crowd (including Carson) are amazed. I like this video because of some points brought up during the interview. Some of the highlights include the decision on tubist over tubAist and (a cut and dry) amount of tubists/competition vs. job availability. Quite interesting.

I apologize in advance if either of these are reposts. After a brief search I didn't find any recent post. I just thought they were a good way to start the week off! Cheers!

Have ANY late night shows since Carson even allowed a tuba player on stage?

Ken F.

Well, yeah. Jimmy Kimmel's house band!

[vanderbagger]

There is a Sousaphone in the band of Jimmy Fallon's Late Night show.

I just posted that!






With a typo!

Well, no offense, but Tuba Gooding Jr. ain't exactly Roger Bobo...

And maybe it's blasphemy, but I didn't particularly like that quartet when I first heard it (though I am warming up to it more now). I mean the playing was great, and truly an all-star team. I just didn't particularly care for the piece... but hey, that's just me!

He has a much better vertical leap.
