I love playing baritone in the brass band. I played 1st baritone in the NEBB for the last 10 years. However, this last year I was drafted into the solo euphonium slot after our wonderful euphoniumist, Aaron Rivkin, went to Univ. of Mich to get his doctorate. At my age, I wish I was playing 1st baritone. I get worn out playing solo euph. While I can do it, it is so demanding that my stamina is sorely tested. OTOH, my high range on baritone was well developed and the technical difficulty was just right for me.
