  • Because band camp is next week (and I haven't uploaded a weekday video in a hot minute), I made it my duty to show you 10 things that you shouldn't do with a sousaphone, from a tubist to a tubist. Enjoy;)

    "Don't play sousaphone on a windy day"
    Director: this band rehearsal might be a little windy(alot) but it will be fine
    * The whole sousaphone section fall's on concrete *
    Me: Well don't go yelling at us it's your fault man

    I can totally relate to #4. Before the Den (student cheer section) got their own section of bleachers for football games, they were neck and neck with the band. Very difficult to see the BD conducting pieces, but was fun to blast 7 Nation Army into my ex’s ears🤣. One game, after our halftime show, I went to eat dinner at the concession stand (we always get 3rd quarter off). Came back to play my sousa like nothing happened. About 5 minutes left in the 4th quarter, I smelled something off-putting like rotten meat. I take it off and to my dismay, someone from the den decided to shove a hotdog down my bell. It reeked so I took it out and tossed it into the crowd of students. Short story long, that’s why they moved over a section

    When Harvey Phillips was in high school he used to ride his bicycle with a sousaphone on his shoulder so he could take the horn home to practice. Practice paid off for Harvey Phillips, the Paganini of the tuba.

  • @trout717oboeplayer9

    2 things you should do with a sousaphone,
    1: Return it to its case indefinitely
    2. Get a contra/marching tuba instead because it’s the better type of tuba to march with and it will also prepare you for DCI.
    Friendly banter aside, I enjoyed your video and I also have respect for sousaphone players because it is probably more taxing on your back and spine over time and I can imagine that it’s probably more cumbersome to march around in.

    At my school they used to do number 5 for some sort of event after band camp was done, but they stopped it because i think it was doing the marching band show in the gym and people passed out, so I never got to do number 5, but one of the tubas who I know was one person who passed out, or just fell.

      Yep, just hoping my new band director will be good. I don’t know him because I’m only in 8th grade. Our old band director led us to being the best band in our school’s history since 2008, which was when we won the SCSBOA Championship. Anyway, this is a great video.

      elijonestv Update time! I was going to do a parade on December 6 with my middle school, and I was gonna play Sousaphone for the first time in 2 years, but on the day of the parade, right as we were going to load our decorated instruments (it was a Christmas parade) my band director cancelled the parade. I was so sad because we had put a few weeks to a month into practicing for the parade when we could’ve been practicing concert pieces. It was raining tho, so I can’t blame her for canceling it. The pieces for the concert are on my channel if you want to check them out.
