Re: The Tuba Christmas Website got a Facelift
Before we know it, the books are going to have some interesting new well-written Christmas carol arrangements in them, and - magically - the shopping malls ( those which aren't already shuttered) will become safe places to park our cars, enter into them, and play music.
... and magically the rednecks in the back - who play their sousaphones way too loud and play the first tuba part or even the first euphonium part - will get lost on the way and won't show up.

Children's steadfast belief in Harvey Claus continues to this day, whereby - magically - he can somehow visit all the locations (for - at least - a few moments) even though several occur at the same time.
As this picture is black-and-white, it's obviously from one of the early 1950's TubaChristmas celebrations.

...yeah...In the past I referred to the AFL-CIO (with which our Musicians Union is affiliated) as the Gangsters Union...but the Gangsters left the AFL-CIO (twenty years ago?), so I could no longer correctly refer to it as that.Three Valves wrote: ↑Wed Sep 18, 2024 8:42 pm The Coca-Cola Company invented Tuba Christmas.

Re: The Tuba Christmas Website got a Facelift
I am going to be classy this year... and play the GG contrabass bugle instead of the sousaphone. I've been told to just to play a close note for the ones I don't have and to make sure the bell of pointed directly at the conductor and guest musicians in the front row at all times so they can hear me really well. .
As amateur as they come...I know just enough to be dangerous.
