Looking forward to you coming to Renton. A few guys worth contacting:
1) Ryan Schultz, Principal Tubist with Pacific NW Ballet Orchestra - Great player and a down-to-Earth guy.
2) Chris Olka, Principal Tubist with the Seattle Symphony, nothing more need be said
3) Harvey Phillips Northwest Big Brass Bash every summer - meet plenty of folks
4) Ron Munson, Formely Tuba instructor at U. Puget Sound
5) Keating Johnson, Tuba Professor at Washington State University
6) Eugene Dowling, Tuba Professor at the University of Victoria, B.C.
There are a few blowhards in the area to avoid (a couple of repair techs come to mind). Feel free to contact me off the list if you questions. Daryl
