Joel. Sousaphone player, geek, and wanna-be Zeusaphonist.
Once, back at Notre Dame, I went to a Glee Club performance. I spotted a couple of friends who played tuba in the Notre Dame Marching Band and sat down next to them.
Big mistake.
Every time the Glee Club vocalists essayed a grand old song about Notre Dame-- which, in a Glee Club concert, is pretty often-- the tuba players would hum the tuba part. I heard bass lines all evening, and little else.
Annoying at the time. In retrospect, it was a bizarre musical experience I wouldn't trade. (Along with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police playing Glenn Miller standards to the assembled officials of the Earth's space agencies, at eight in the morning.)
I'm just saying I am pleased to know a sousaphone player, but if we should attend an a capella concert together, kindly restrain yourself.
