Unfortunately, they want Schwarzeneggers doing the "Carneval Of Venice" on the sousa only. Since I'm 45 and not an American - and I would like to be one, you can believe! - this job is out out of my range anyway. It will be up to the administrators and not to the musicians to determine who will do the bassman's job. But it would be kind of a dream job, what could be wrong with a life - long sousa job as long as you love those heavy- metal horns? And - as you see - there are not too many people prepared handling these fat horns, otherwise the thread would not have been placed here.
Best Wishes To All Sousa Fans
