and thus, it ends.
a journey around the sun, seeing and hearing celestial beings of all sizes, make up and trajectory.
So we, in the tuba and euphonium world, have just joined our lives together for about 5 days. Many would say, "so"?
And in some ways they could be right.
That said, regardless of what microcosm you live and/or work in, your arena has it's stars, leaders, controllers, purveyors and merchants.(none are dismissable and all are requisite) In our little reality, we just spent a week with all of them. It was important. no question, no debate.
There are those who play our instrument and would argue that what we just did had no value, neither intrinsically not economically. That's just incorrect. Furthering an art form, regardless of the medium, is essential to our existence.
Saturday at the conference was equal to all the other. Different lectures and soloists, but the same, nonetheless. Quality was never a question. We should all be proud.
I'll have more after the trip home.
