Hello John and all,
You were correct that you heard/saw that the Kosikup was the basis for the style of the BB pieces. In 2019 I had done some research and located (and copied for my records) a...

Belated Happy Birthday, John. And, congratulations on getting your booster. Wishing you and yours all the best for 2022.
Thanks for posting this. I have fond memories of Mr. Johnson's tuba from Taj Mahal's "Tom and Sally Drake", from that album.
My condolences to Mr. Johnson's family and friends.

Each spring, the Canadian Band Association (Ontario) hosts a Brass Band weekend workshop. This year The Whitby Brass Band (just outside of Toronto, Ontario) will host.
It's a great experience. If...
Good morning,
My Boosey & Hawkes Imperial (mid-1950's) measurement is 6.5 cm. John Morgan, I hope that you concur.
Regards, Brenda
Well, I can sort of see why the arrangement was picked - to fit in with the big band format. Just OK.
The rest of the concert sounds amazing. Good for you!
Beautifully played! Thanks for sharing. I know the piece from the movie, "Black Orpheus".
Did you arrange it or purchase the music?
Welcome to the Forum. I don't live in TX either but may I suggest that you check with your local large music store as to whether you can rent a horn. I used this method to try several horns (after...
I see that Wichita is home to an Air Force Base. Might the acronym be a long gone division of the Base? Just a thought...
Good afternoon,
I thought that I would use this thread from 2014 to ask about the North American Brass Band Summer School, to be held from Wednesday, July 24 to Saturday, July 4, 2020 in Halifax,...
Well said Ann! Bravo to you for working on the Etude #2.
I too am an Old Beginner (after a long hiatus) and have noticed this blow through just recently after joining a newer and much larger band...
That is a great march! Thanks for including the link. Too bad I live so far away - would love to hear your band some day.

I have one. I'm heading out for the day and will respond later.
PS. I live in Canada.
This past Spring, I attended my first British brass band workshop, sponsored annually by The Canadian Band Association (Ontario). (luckily, I play Treble Clef). While there, I noticed all of the...
I just had a chance to view the 1964 Disney film, “The Moon-Spinners” which recently aired on TCM.
A little over half-way into the movie, Hayley Mills pushes her way through a crowded street...
Dave,
I really enjoyed your recital. Hearing all three horns in your capable hands was a good learning experience.
Perhaps I can travel to ITEC next year.
P.S. It was great to see an intro by...
Hello NorthernEuph,
Although I am not in the market for a euphonium, I thought that if you were in Ontario, you or your friend might consider showing his instrument at the upcoming Canadian Band...
Excellent suggestions. I think that I have a few spare socks as there always seems to be one missing after the laundry is done!
Thanks Rick!
Sounds great! I will pass this along to my euph colleagues in Ontario.
I agree that the B&H Imperial has a lovely sound. I have owned one for a few years, Serial LP 223***, which is a bit newer than yours. I share your "pain" regarding the water issue. I just prefer to...
The Canadian Band Association (Ontario Chapter) will hold its
Community Brass Band Weekend
on April 26-28, 2019
in beautiful Kincardine, Ontario, Canada (on the Eastern shore of Lake Huron)

Fabulous playing! Congratulations to all.
Your story is very encouraging to me. I had not played for 42 years until I returned to my first love, the Euphonium, about five years ago. Your example...
run76. Thank you!
Thanks Rick! You are a font of knowledge.
