Hey let's not count out all the other bands in the region who have tuba players. Spring Hill and Carthange have really good tubas, and that's just me hearing them play marches (not a challenging part). New Boston, Hughes Springs, White Oak, Linden Kildare, Elysian Fields, Gladewater also has good tubas just to name a few that have made it in years past. You mention a Pittsburg tuba player? I don't recall anyone being an outstanding tuba player from Pittsburg since Mr. Hawkins back in the late 90's. He made it to state several times. Let's not get arrogant about this until All-Region. Besides, as Pitt knows, anyone can have a bad performance. Something to think about.
our tuba parts are quite challenging actually
