Cameron,

If you are in the Tampa/St. Pete area, try to get the the FMEA conference. This coincides with the All-State stuff, so try to see if there is any way you can get in. Ask your band director if he can get a pass for you, or you can buy one. It is expensive however at around $70, but it is a lot cheaper then flying to the nearest tuba depot.

This conference is usually during the first weekend of Januaryat the Tampa Bay convention center.

Vendors I have seen in the past there have been Custom Music and the Tuba Exchange. Usually there is a decnt variety of BBb's some nice CC's and a few (very few) EEb's or F's. Maybe you sould contact soem of the other vendors listed in the vendor section and see if they will be attending. If they are, you can ask what they are bringing and let them know what you are interested in.

Best of luck to you.

Matt G
