Our band is made up of 28 members with a tuba section of two. A 1998 King 2341 BBb tuba and a 1943 Boosey&Hawkes BBb. We are hopeful for a great audience and after a brutal cold stretch, the weather is cooperating!

Ours is Wednesday. Hope this gets me in the mood.

Tell us how it went.

+1 for pics.

The concert went very well. We had a large and appreciative audience who seemed to enjoy our playing. The program highlights were the Bach "Chorale and Fugue" and the "Selections from A Chorus Line" which was not surprising considering how much time we spent on them! The folders will be emptied at tomorrow's rehearsal which is the last one prior to a restart on January 3, 2023. As the small town newspapers liked to say, back in the day, "A good time was had by all"!

Were genuine Saskatchewan Seal Skin Bindings used in the concert?

Why yes, we were! Buckled right to the seats as we performed the Bach Chorale (not needed so much) and then the Fugue (really needed)

The funniest show to come out of Canada until Letterkenny.

I have to say that I have never seen LETTERKENNY.
