Heather,

I applaud your desire for majoring in euphonium performance. But if you don't want a job in the military, there just aren't many jobs around for a professional euphoniumist. Music education is a good way to go. There are numerous jokes about professional euphonium players, "what do they call a professional euphonium player who doesn't play in a military band?" - unemployed' "What does a professional euphoniumist say when he gets to his regular gig," "would you like fries with that?". Yeah I know, corny. But there's some truth in it though. You can always play your horn on the side along with teaching.

You've applied to some very good schools! Good luck to your Heather.

Rick
