WELCOME to TUBACHRISTMAS 2009 in Clarion, Pennsylvania!
*** 10th ANNIVERSARY! ***
Saturday, December 12, 2009
2:00 p.m. at the Clarion Mall
This year the Clarion community will again celebrate TUBACHRISTMAS . We hope that this Clarion tradition will continue for many years to come. TUBACHRISTMAS events, organized through the efforts of the Harvey Philips Foundation, are held throughout the country each year, bringing amateur through professional tuba and euphonium players together to reaffirm the significance of the tuba and euphonium, its music, and its history. But, equally as important, TUBACHRISTMAS is an opportunity for all tuba and euphonium players to spread the spirit of the holiday season through music in a unique and extremely fun event! Imagine the sights and sounds of tuba and euphonium players dressed head-to-toe in their red and green finest (instruments, too!) playing Jingle Bells! It's an event no one will want to miss!
