Welcome to Gaia! ::

The tuba is the greatest and best instrument.

Haha. I totally remember learning how to play the tuba back in 7th grade. I was a tromboner at the time and my BD needed lower brass so I went for tuba. I remember after the first after-school lesson, I stood up and then fell back down into a different chair because I was so light-headed. Good times.

I'm the only girl tuba in my school as well. I think I'm the second girl tuba ever. I met the first one at a restaurant. My grandpa started to talk to her and when I came back in from parking the car he was all "this young lady went to Grandville too and was in marching band" and such. She asked me what instrument I played and I said tuba and she was all "ohemgee! me too!" Yeah.

But I'm gonna pwn this next chair test round. Next week Friday is when the low brass go. I'm gonna kick all the other guys' asses. All four of them. All your chair are belong to me, bish.

xd

Heh... I just was informed by my BD that my "tuba has arrived"... xd

My school has one other tuba, but I believe it's a senior - and of course, considering that I'm starting all over again with a new instrument from the "beggining band", I'll be playing... in a bunch of different groups over the years.

This is going to be interesting... sweatdrop

uuum i am the only tuba in my band.....but of course i can woop them trumpets 1 handed xD but i am still a beginner in music and this game

o and thnxz 4 lettin me in the guild ^____^

ok so here's some advice. for the lung expansion excercises i found that if you breath in air until your lungs are insanely full and then bring your knees into your chest and hold it for about 30 seconds your lungs stretch really well. and for the sousaphone, dont worry about it after about the first three weeks your shoulder will have like a beasty muscle on it and you will barely even feel your sousaphone....seriously my left shoulder is noticibly broader tham my right shoulder.

AND WHO DOESN't LOVE THEIR SOUSIES OR TUBAS? THERE TOO AWESOME NOT TO LOVE

I would like being the only one but I don't know i think the sound of two or more sousies is more...'rounded' ya know? so yeah i'm proud to be part of a sousie line with 8 sousies. but hey i woulnd't mind being the only one cause you would have a constant solo....but i bet its hard for you cuz yeah you probably have to time your breaths perfectly don't you? i dont think i could do that...i would be huffin and puffin by the end of my show.
