I keep meaning to go to the one in Fayetteville, but they often schedule it on Thanksgiving weekend which makes it a bit difficult if there are family things going on. Also, my wife is less than enthusiastic about that venue -- for reasons that you can likely imagine . But their Christmas events there look very nice and I think I may try to go to their Tuba Christmas and play a euphonium part. Just need to increase my range a tiny bit. I hear that actually playing the instrument regularly helps with this.
