TubaChristmas at the Center


TubaChristmas at the Center

All are invited to participate in TubaChristmas 2011, Saturday, December 10th, 12:00 noon. Christmas cheer will boom inside the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts Lorene Harrison Lobby as baritone instruments wrap their deep, mellifluous sounds around the carols of the holiday season. 

TubaChristmas scarves, stocking caps, CD’s and pins from TubaChristmas past will all be available for purchase. Registration for players is $5 and entitles participant to a souvenir button.  Returning musicians can bring music books from previous years; new musicians need to purchase a music book for $15 (Large Print Books are $20).  Participants are encouraged to decorate their tubas – recognition will be given to the youngest player, the most mature player, and the best decorated tuba!

All skill levels welcome!  If you used to play, “way back when,” now is the time to pick up your instrument, start again, and get into the holiday spirit!  Several instruments will be available for loan during the concert.  For more information on borrowing an instrument, call Neal Haglund at 742-0176.
