WEST BRATTLEBORO — Musicians living in and around Brattleboro who play tubas, sousaphones, and euphoniums are invited to present this year's edition of the annual TubaChristmas at the First Congregational Church on Sunday, Dec. 14.
TubaChristmas began in 1974 to honor the late, great tubist William J. Bell, who was born Christmas Day, 1902. Every Christmas season, tuba and euphonium players of all ages gather to pay respect to Bell and honor their other teachers. Concerts are scheduled in more than 250 cities around the world.
The program will feature several different types of Christmas music, and the audience will be asked to join in song with the instruments.
Players wishing to join the ensemble are asked to register for the concert beginning at 1 p.m. Rehearsal is set for 2, and the show is at 3.
