Chicago Area Tuba and Euphonium Ensemble

25+ years ago the Metro Cats Tuba Euphonium Ensemble was a strong ensemble in the Chicago area. A few of us, including an original member, are talking about resurrecting that group. We have the metro cats original book 159 charts often with multiple pieces in one chart so likely 250+ quality arrangements. Everything from Bach Toccata and Fugue to Tuba's from Hell album arrangements, pop movie scores and more.
This will not be a Tuba Christmas gather and play we want to have a serious group playing at a high level to show our instruments are more than oom and pah.
We will find concert opportunities and may even do some flash mob type concerts to get us some social media visibility.
Initial thought is to set up regional groups of quartets or more depending on interest and have full group rehearsals before performances. We already have at least 2 tubas and 1 Euphonium for the North suburban area and a few players in other areas.
Please fill out this interest form and share the form link with your adult Tuba and Euphonium friends.

That is much of what I heard before. Our intention is to deal with a minimal amount of absolutely necessary administrative things by email and when we get together spend the time playing. We would love to have you participate in whatever way you are willing and able and your past experience and knowledge of what to avoid is most welcome.
