Polka solo ideas

Post by BopEuph »

Kicked off Oktoberfest today with a 10-piece band. I played Bariton Lechner on tuba:
It went so well they had me come up and play it again towards the end of the last set. Instead of repeating myself, I'd like to find something else to do.

Suggestions? Currently looking at other baritone solos from Lechner Buam, but not stuck to them. It just needs to be something that's very easy to sightread (e: easy for the band, like minimal tempo changes or notes for them). The band has a mix of pro and just-for-fun players, and we've already done our pre-season rehearsal. I've no problem transcribing/arranging something, but if I could find something, ship it off to the bandleader, and commit it to memory by Friday for the next one, that would be awesome.

If you see a Willson 2900, serial W2177, it's been missing for a long time. Help me bring it home.
