Happy International Tuba Day!

Today is International Tuba Day (happens every year on that first Friday in May.)

My contribution to this year's celebration is my favorite sousaphone photo.

I took this at break time during a Rose Bowl rehearsal, probably in 1978.  In those days the Michigan Marching Band stayed in a dorm on the UCLA campus and rehearsed on the IM sports field.
