You will be playing on:
1. Sibelius- The Karelia Suite is a nice piece of music. Nice little tuba part.
2.Lalo- Easy part, cool piece if you have good soloists.
3. Holst- Oh yeah, get the part early and practice it often. Lot's of range, meat and potatoes loud playing, technical challenges in Jupiter are plentiful.
4. Stravinsky- Good blow in the Finale. Lay for the two note solo halfway through the 7/4 section(I think it's an A to a G# or G)Watch out for the counting and the key(B Major). BE AWARE: there is often a misprint in the long held B naturals and F#'s in the 7/4 section. Check your part with the bass trombone as you are in octaves. You should have the exact same part at that section(sorry, don't have the part in front of me)
5. Barnes- don't know the piece, but I bet it has a tuba part.
Enjoy, nice line-up. I really like the Dvorak, too bad it doesn't have a tuba part.
