After not playing for over 30 years, my brother told the director of the Governor's Foot Guard band (www.footguard.org) that I could play a tuba. I had been a member of the Infantry company and Quartermaster for about 20 years at that time, and I was accused of keeping valuable secrets. It seems that most bands will do nearly anything to get a tuba player who will show up and play. A community band is a great place to break the ice, or see if there's a militia company with a band, if you like to march. You cane, like myself, be a consummately mediocre player, and they'll love you anyway.
