Every wedding deserves to be crashed by a group chaotically playing DIxieland music as they march unexpectedly around the reception hall.
I humbly submit the following as the ModernTuba Video of the Week!
I don’t know why this exists, but cutting edge topical humor and the beauteous tones of tuba combine here to remind us there are YouTube videos other than Rebecca Black’s “Friday” video. Having said that, I humbly submit the following as the ModernTuba Video of the Week! (May the universe have mercy on your poor soul.)
Bonus points given for the Price Is Right effect at the very end.
For those of you who missed the memo, St. Patrick’s Day is the 17th of March every year, not last Saturday and Sunday as you might’ve thought given by how many people pranced around in green, attended parades, and drank green things at local pubs. I don’t think the world is ready for a week-long celebration of all things Irish when that celebration seems focused on giving folks the excuse to get smashed on beer and act obnoxious in the streets.
Having said that, I’d like to honor my Irish roots (of which I am approximately one-quarter) by submitting the following video as the ModernTuba Video of the Week! The sound on this one is a bit low, so you’ll have to turn your volume up, I’m afraid.
I hope you enjoyed listening to Ben Roundtree playing Hornpipe for Tuba and Strings as much as I did, especially since the audience seemed entirely uninterested. Then again, I was almost two minutes into the video before I noticed they were all signing to one another.
As an added bonus, here’s Das Miraphone Tuba Quartett beautifully performing Londonderry Air, including a bit o’ “Danny Boy” for good measure. Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Back by popular demand (and over a week's worth of travel), it's time for the ModernTuba Video of the Week!

I hereby submit the following as the ModernTuba video of the week!To celebrate the release of the new Lady Gaga single “Born This Way” I hereby submit the following as the ModernTuba video of the week!

In an effort to promote the true ModernTuba spirit of using the tuba in interesting and creative new ways, I hereby submit the following as the ModernTuba video of the week:
