The original Sousaphone on display next month!
Hi all - I have been invited by the folks at J. W. Pepper to help host the original Sousaphone while it is on display at the upcoming Allentown Band concert (see info below). If you've ever wanted to see that historic instrument up-close and personal, here's your chance!

Are you accepting donation for a chance to toot on it?

Re: The original Sousaphone on display next month!
While I have had the opportunity to play this instrument in the past (2015), I am not "in charge" of it this go around. I was invited by the folks at J. W. Pepper to be there to answer questions about the horn's history. But those folks are good people, so it couldn't hurt to ask - and have your mouthpiece in your pocket in case they give you the green light!Three Valves wrote: ↑Sat Sep 21, 2024 5:29 pmTY.humBell wrote: ↑Sat Sep 21, 2024 4:22 pmMay we toot on it even if we don't donate?Three Valves wrote: ↑Thu Sep 19, 2024 8:22 am Are you accepting donation for a chance to toot on it?
