I played in an "honor band" last year made up of college students from all around the state, and these four other tuba players played so loud that, even though I was principal, I really thought I could just pack up and go home. Then, before I managed to mention this to the director, he told me how unbelievably GREAT it sounded! Even in my college wind ensemble now, we have been told on the very rare occasion that the music demands it to play louder than we are comfortable with. The hall seems to swallow all of the edge, because no one who was observing the rehearsal from back in the seats could hear anything but a nice big fat tuba sound. Sure beats me...
