So, what are *you* all doing this weekend?

Practicing die Wagnertuben with the rest of the group today. We are
getting a lot more comfortable with the instrument now that we have
played them a bit.


So are the Wagner tubas you're using the ones you hoped to
borrow from the Boston Symphony? When is the orchestra concert?
And is there chamber music composed for (or suited for)
Wagner tubas?
