Play tuba carols with us this December!


All skill levels welcome  -  no rehearsals


How it works:
  • Select date(s) from our 2023 schedule.
    You are welcome to play as many or as few of these gigs as you like.
  • Show up, ready to play, at the starting place - we typically start at 8:30 pm.
    Leave your instrument case behind.
    Check the weather forecast, and dress appropriately.
    If the temperature will be below freezing, make sure that you protect your valves from freeze-up.
  • Ask for your music when you arrive.
    You will get a marching-band-style flip folder with about 20 songs.
  • Return your music before you go home.
    Any money that the audiences have given us will be divided equally at the end of the night.
  • Join us again soon!

What to bring:
  • low-brass instrument  (tuba, sousaphone, helicon)
  • a lyre (or else have a free hand to hold the music)
  • something to keep your valves warm
