Not to beat a dead horse, but here is the blurb from the "Pershing's Own"'s web page regarding the upcoming tuba audition. Forgot to mention last time the need for a full length photo. This is just to make sure you don't weigh 400 lbs. The US Army has a tendency to be unforgiving of people who are heavy.
Send in a cassette tape of CD or whatever. Personally, I would recommend a CD because the dynamic range is wider and the distortion is lower than cassette. Whatever makes you sound best.
