sousaphone=tradition(fat lazy parade tubas, you know)
Contras=Hardcore(anyone that can take a season with one of those is a real man. you ever tried playing one for a few hours? It's murder!)
Are you implying that Richland didn't perform hummingbrrd as good as the bluecoats could Hash Brown? well you'd be right! I know I tried my absolute hardest with my solo but I never heard us play the whole thing together once. I hope the Bluecoats will have a tuba solo as well, anybody seen their show yet? I know Alberto Ocasio the contra if any of you guys have met him. He's a great player
well, BOA arlington prelims. I played my tuba solo and it was PERFECT, and that crowd reacted to the dance part of hummingbird perfectly. I've never heard a crowd react like that. Ever. even at DCI contests.
Of course that night our electronics didn't work, we crapped our pants, and left with a golf clap. Bleh.
um...Germany. They'd like me there. I'd converse with the locals, make a complete idiot out of myself, then proceed to blow their minds with my crunk tuba playin. Or not.
Yamaha is a great brand if you buy the right horn, such as a YBB-321 tuba may not be the best choice for a concert tuba, but a YF-101(I think) is a GREAT F tuba.
and don't get me started on the quality of their contras, it's phenomenal.

Well, my girlfriend is incredibly smart(11 in the senior class I believe) and she is more level-headed than me, and I really dislike drama.
It's the perfect relationship, she's a huge band and school geek, and so am I.
It's not over-rated, if you find the right person.
