I feel for ya Joe. I experienced a similar situation last year at the Valley View Mall TUBACHRISTMAS in Dallas. One group of high schoolers from one Dallas school made it their goal in the concert to get the most obnoxious blatty sounds possible(especially on Jingle Bells.) Being a teacher and pro, I explained to them in very loud and unmistakable terms after the show how that is not the way we want to portray the tuba in any setting. I doubt it made any difference though, but it made me feel better to get it off my chest. I will be attending one in Plano today. The problem is that most of the best high schoolers will be at an all-region audition today. I'll let you know how it goes.
