    It's called Czardas. It was originally a violin piece that quite a few famous tubists have popularized for tuba. Check out Oystein Baadsavik's version.

    dont know why he played this on a marching contra it would have sounded much cleaner on a concert tuba the tone on the contra is kind of crappy at the faster parts he is absolutly incredible though i wish i was that good

      Matthew Fasic He did this for a competition while he was marching for the blue devils. I'm sure if he had the opportunity he would have used a concert tuba. But he's on tour and only had his contra available for his competition.

      He uses his concert tuba in later videos. System Blue sponsors Individual and Ensemble competitions, I think there might night have been enough room for him to take a concert tuba or he may not have reserved the room quick enough cause he has one in the next year.

    It annoys me that people always try to send you in the direction of oystein badsvik (sorry if I butchered the spelling), granted he is a phenomenal player, he's not the only tuba player that can play this. There's les neish for example or Simon Howell how about the originator of the tuba veriation of czardas, john fletcher!!! There are so many amazing versions of this piece. And to say that he played it wrong is the equivalent of correcting someone's opinion. Czardas is a very free moving piece. There is no correct way of playing it, it's all down to interpretation. I believe that the piece is described with the words Molto Rubato. That's my little rant over😅.

    • @TheTubaCow

      At audition camps you receive a contra for the weekend. Another option is to bring a concert tuba, but do not bring a Sousa.

      Don't bring a Sousaphone. You want your audition to sound as best as it possibly can, and quite frankly a Sousaphone will never sound as good as a bell front tuba or a concert tuba.

      A Sousa is more blunt while a contrabass ( the soloist tuba) is modified for marching.

    • @codywright2840
      @codywright2840 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      A contrabass bugle's sound is more focused and directional as the marcher has the ability to angle the bell up to press box and such more easily and practically than a sousaphone. The obvious difference is their shape of course but beyond that they are simply two different types of marching tubas. One is more traditional and classic, that being the sousaphone, and one is more practical and useful, the contra.
