Curious if anyone knows how many tubas etc participated yesterday in TubaChistmas 2023 in St Paul, loved it SO much
If the website has contact for the organizer, ask them how many pins they have left.
It was 104.
I know, because I was the final (and 104th) person to register.

Oh, and @bort2.0 was 1922 early enough? Or were there older instruments in attendance?
Apparently the oldest was 1880-something. That's what they said at check-in... Although honestly, I don't think the conductor ever mentioned it during the performance...
I think this was my 25th TubaChristmas event since I started playing in ~1995. Including an odd TubaChristmas in July event in Bethlahem* Pennsylvania.
(*spelled wrong on purpose, because the pin says "Bethlahem" instead of "Bethlehem"... which was kind of the whole point of the event in the first place )
