Day 193: Tuba transportation

"I wouldn't want to hear Beethoven without beautiful bass, the cellos, the tuba. It's very important. Hip-hop has thunderous bass. And so does Beethoven. If you don't have the bass, it's like being amputated. It's like you have no legs" - Lou Reed

Project 365: #193

We are back to fitting the tuba in the trunk/boot of the car again - at least this boot is a little bigger than the last one! It brings back memories of having my car (with the tuba in the boot) searched during the 2010 World Cup Soccer match when the girls were going to dance at the stadium...not so easy to explain your way out of that one, except that it could potentially cause some destruction through it's low baritone notes! So exciting that Nicole is playing again, and that there is more than one tuba in the band (four at least), and more than one band too! They clearly understand the worth of the thunderous bass in their music. Band is one of her school subjects. Her past music teachers will be delighted to know that music homework includes recording yourself playing your instrument, so there is no pretending!! Homework is also graded! At least she has grown a little since she had to bring the tuba home a couple of years ago, a tad more manageable now!
