Hey all,

Day 1 ended with a fantastic concert by Sotto Voce and Boston Brass, two of the best chamber ensembles in the world. For me, like many tubists at ITEC Day 2 was play time! Tubas and Euphonium from Wessex, Miraphone, Eastman, B&S, and so many more. More Mouthpieces and accessories than you can shake a stick at, and music for all occasions. Presentations included tips on recording the tuba and a great presentation about Roger Bobo with the day closing with another light's out concert featuring Orchestra Iowa with soloist including David Saltzman and Steven Mead.

,Hello all,

Hope everyone that is reading this at ITEC is having as much fun as I am. An Amazing opening concert and a day of great presentations and recitals. Anyone that is considering going to an ITEC in the future should absolutely do so. I have also used my time working with some of the best tubist and teachers in the US and the World in order to begin adding some more great content to the site. Stay tuned for more updates and some new Tuba Talks!

Less than 24 hours remain until the Opening Concert for the 2019 International Tuba Euphonium Conference! I cannot wait to see all the fantastic exhibits, presentations, and performances that are sure to be incredibly insightful. Every evening concert promises to be lights out, I hope to see everyone there!
