COCC’s Tuba Christmas Becomes a Tradition

The performance is comprised of area tuba and euphonium players, both students and accomplished musicians alike, with rehearsal taking place in Wille Hall from 10:30am-12pm. Performers are encouraged to wear holiday colors and decorate their instrument. Musicians should contact dan@dan-miller.com to participate.
“Tuba Christmas events happen all over the world, bringing joy and happiness to both musicians and audiences alike,” said Dan Miller, coordinator of the event. “Come and enjoy the amazing sounds of low brass playing your favorite Christmas music.”
