Holiday Tuba Tradition - Despite cold lips, the show goes on

As it has for many years, The University of Iowa Tuba-Euphonium Ensemble braved the elements to perform holiday favorites for a chilled but enthusiastic crowd on the last day of fall semester classes.

The Dec. 11 concert carried on a years-old tradition that includes University and community members. The performance takes place on the steps of the Old Capitol (although it moved to the steps of Macbride Hall in the years immediately following the Old Capitol fire).

In addition to performing the usual mix of season favorites, along with such holiday tuba classics as Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer and Underdog, the group teamed up with Toys for Tots to collect toys for children in need.
