Tuba duets (or trios) with band
Does anybody know of nice tuba duets with band accompaniment? Off the top of my head I seem to remember a YouTube of Gene Pokorny playing an arrangement of the Bach Double with a group in CA. But I can't even find the video now, much less the arrangement. Of course maybe it was just a false snail memory...

Re: Tuba duets (or trios) with band
Hello,
Not a trio but the section that I play (Bel Air Community Band) in did a tuba feature "Big Joe the Tuba". We all went up front and it was good. The trombones did not double the tuba parts because as their principal said "this is a tuba feature, we do not want to interfere". It went over very well at the concert.
There is also (not a trio) "Tiptoe Through the Tubas".
About "Buglers Holiday"
Decades ago in the Bel Air Community Band (I was principal string bass then) we did Buglers Holiday with three tubas (myself included playing tuba) and it went over very well!
Best,
Mark
