I love how you sang the other parts. and if anyone critiques you on anything other than a few very slight articulation fuzzes then they are just jelous cause you rock.
I play a Meinl Weston 2155 5/4 5 Valve CC Tuba. I practice in my room, but the sound is tiny. When I get to the rehearsal hall or the venue it sounds friggin huge. The concept is kinda like putting a sub-woofer in a tiny box, it just doesn't work. The more open space you have, the better a tuba sounds.

Not bashing you, Dylan, but you need to support your notes and stop breathing every few notes. Keep a steady embouchure and take HUUUUUUGE breaths. Push yourself to hold those notes out, even if it makes your head hurt because of lack of oxygen. You play a brass instrument, you've got to tough it out! :D Best of luck, Dylan.
He's blowing just fine, its the acoustics of the room he's in that make it sound mediocre at best. I've played my Tuba in my bedroom and it sounds like crap in there, but then when we performed with PSU at their facility I was amazed how good I sounded in that place.
dude, sounds great, but i don't think the gw mouthpiece works with that tuba. you should try a big laskey or something like a pt50. no heavy shell crap, just normal. i think you'll find your sound will be bigger and more vibration is possible. gw's are good mouthpieces, don't get me wrong, but they are good for certain things, like solo playing, especially with piano where you don't need the most resonant sound but you need a lot of focus etc. try the pt50 out and let me know what you think ...
I used to play the double Bb tuba - I had to stop. It was beginning to rattle my house apart. Every bloody thing in the building vibrated. I now play piccolo.
Funny the second part is just basically the tsarist anthem. One would not even notice if you put it on the net under that name:P (if you leave out the last part ofcourse...)
you really really need to work on your articulation. and more air support is needed. sometimes, at night, i think to myself... if the stars fall out of the sky will i be able to catch one? and if i do... will it be made of tiny tiny astronauts?
Ah yes, I remember playing that...Its quite fun and you play it well. very funny with the singing in between all of that. At the end, maybe play a little less forced and Im not sure if it was the tounging or the video player, but it sounded like a few of the notes had unclear starts to them. Its a very beautiful tuba though.
yea... i'm not getting that 1:17 minutes back.. ever.. you owe me. now practice. lol
