I agree with Sue…the second is my favorite. Having played the tuba, you captured the quintessential sousaphonist…usually the fun guys in the band.

Love this, Vlad – that is a musician having fun! I come from a family of brass players, my middle brother was the tuba guy. Brings back memories of family jamfests :-)

They were all having fun, and so was their audience! They were in the parade, but not really a marching band. Just a group—pretty professional, though—that wore costumes, danced, and played, in a kind of jazzy style… :-)
