Played this morning in the annual Tuba Christmas performance here in Houston. It was at Williams Tower (yes, the same tower the guy fell/jumped from the other day see journal).

I had never used a C tuba before. Tubas come in different sizes and keys, and I had always played a B-flat model. I got a good deal on this C horn a few weeks ago. The fingerings for the notes are one step up, and a little confusing. I tried learning the fingerings, but I'm not motivated to practice much since I don't play very often anymore. i also wrote in the fingerings on some of the music for the performance.

I sucked, but there were 200 other tuba players to take up for me, so no real problem. It was a lovely day outside and there was a nice crowd listening. I also get to see several people I only se once a year - old friends from college and such. Click the link for a picture of me and my horn.
