Since I retired from physics teaching I have been giving tuba lessons to a few kids but have not had any opportunities to work with student ensembles, which I used to enjoy after school. So the new band director at the high school where I used to work asked me to arrange a piece for tuba quartet and band, and we did it last night at their spring concert. It started with the horn fanfare from "Eroica" transcribed for 4 tubas, and then went into a couple of choruses of "Breeze", an old pop tune that works well with barbershop harmony. They also let me do a couple of solo choruses with the student dixieland band. It was a great night for all!
-And this Saturday I'll be doing the "Carioca" tuba solo with the Connecticut Symphonic Band at Stratford High School. Be sure to drop in if you happen to be on the east coast that night.
