Tuba or not Tuba! That is the question!!!

I (the Wrangler) had some time today and heard that Manchester Center was hosting Tuba Christmas and decided to check it out.

Now, I had heard of Tuba Christmas but had no idea it was as big a production. It is hard to imagine about one hundred tubas all playing Christmas carols but that's exactly what it was. They were crammed into the mezzanine of the shopping center playing their hearts (and lungs! ) out....it was amazing.

There is a whole organization (copyrighted of course!) overseeing this whole Tuba Christmas thing and you can't just set up your own you must register with them.

There's loads more details here: http://www.tubachristmas.com/whatis.htm You may also be able to find out if there is a Tuba Christmas in your neck of the woods....there's one in Penticton!!

It only lasted about a half hour (though they do the show twice) and that was probably enough of the bass cleft...and it was lunch time so the rumbling of my stomach and the vibration of the tubas wasn't a great combination! But it was still a hoot!!
