If you are a Christmas/music lover: Please use the web site above and the state locator to find the Tuba Christmas concert being planned near you. I have played in several of these events myself over the years and they are great fun for the performers and the audience. They usually last no more than one hour and provide a unique way to usher in the Christmas season.

If you are a tuba or euphonium player: You are again invited to participate in one or more of the TUBACHRISTMAS concerts/events presented throughout the world. Please use the state locator function at the website above to find the Tuba Christmas being planned near you. If you participate, its an experience you won't soon forget.

Teh tuba professor at my college organized these in our city 20 years ago. They are really cool! When the tubas all played, the Christmas tree would shake from the vibrations!

My youngest son started playing the tuba in the 6th grade. He ended up with a music scholarship to Baylor. (Although his major was chemistry.) Playing the tuba initially was nothing short of a "light house warning" sound. But, he learned to actually play "music" on the thing! And more importantly, had the time of his life! The tuba section is just an awesome part of the band. Tuba Christmas was always one of the highlights of the year. The tuba section always dressed up themselves, and their tubas, accordingly!

I played the tuba and sousaphone throughout junior and senior high school. The power of playing such instruments was intoxicating.
