Re: The Octoberfest Thread
Working with Auf Geht’s at McKinney Oktoberfest. 95 degrees, 98% humidity, direct sun all afternoon, aluminum stage (box trailer that unfolds) that was like an oven. Too hot for beer. We worked Saturday afternoon and all day Sunday, and despite drinking gallons of water, I did not have to let any out until Monday afternoon.

Re: The Octoberfest Thread
This is as good an example of terrific tuba playing in the ethnic style that anyone will ever hear. Slightly ahead of the beat and with all of the fills necessary for a great sounding tune! I particularly enjoyed the drums and tuba meshing together. So well done!!Doc wrote: ↑Thu Oct 14, 2021 5:06 am Working with Auf Geht’s at McKinney Oktoberfest. 95 degrees, 98% humidity, direct sun all afternoon, aluminum stage (box trailer that unfolds) that was like an oven.

You're kind to say that.

Re: The Octoberfest Thread
Guess why my Oktoberfest gig got canceled this Saturday?
The venue went out of business.
