Tubaforum members,

One of our members (who I hung out with a bit at MWRTEC) mentioned on facebook that a horn could give a "Galaxy Class Sound". This got me thinking, that with American orchestral auditions being cattle call (and often sponsoring employment), that if there were tuba playing life on other planets, that a simple "world class tone" would not be good enough. We must be on the forefront of this potential. We need to be teaching a Galaxy Class Sound to our students!

Okay, a bit of humor for your Fridays

OK... no more FatBastard.
My new-to-me huge B-flat is now to be known as PhatGalaxy...

I think some galaxies can feel the presence of your nice new rotor BBb. I wonder if some American Orchestra was won on a rotor BBb tuba if that would shift the paradigm of horns being bought and made

Another name suggestion to discard:

Pan-Galactic GargleBlaster.

(It is also a classic sci-fi reference that i shouldn't have to explain, but will if i must)

Think Galactically,

Act Globally.

Or something.

GCS. I’ll ruminate on it…

Polar bears deserve PhatGalacticBastards, too.
