@Three Valves
I'll probably have some videos for you to watch, pretty soon.
If any of the rest of you like to listen cimbasso playing that would drown out a chainsaw stay tuned. :smilie2:

I put a couple for you in the cimbasso thread, but here are a few more that are just tuba ones that I thought you might enjoy. It wasn't the trumpet section's best night, but I think they were over-rehearsed.



LOL... Marcus has an amazing voice and a nearly unlimited falsetto which is spot on in tune. He used to be our principal bass player but he got too busy with other enterprises. We brought him back to sing all the.male solos in this concert. ' really funny how he let the crowd sing "Agent Man".



Taking away nothing from Marcus' bass playing ability, this tune really shows off his vocal talent:



I like this arrangement:



Excerpts from both of these classical and okay REALLY "light classical" works appeared multiple times in some of the earlier Bond movies:

I like this one.

The tuba only has "donuts" (mostly, with the basses), but the trombone "growls" and sneaked-in quotations of classic previous James Bond themes are nice.
