Tuba Excerpt - Barnum and Bailey's Favorite

I've never been one to post my own playing anywhere and I'm very much someone who "hides" my playing as if it is something that isn't ready to be heard. However, a large majority of the content that I consume on YouTube and other platforms is other musicians, especially tuba players, playing their own instruments. The contrast between those two ideas is ironic. Why wouldn't I share my own playing if I enjoy listening to others play their instruments? So, realizing this, I decided that I should produce more of the content that I enjoy consuming on social media: musicians playing their instruments.

Anyway,

A standard of military band repertoire, "Barnum and Bailey's Favorite" is a piece that any auditioning tubist will be familiar with. It's an upbeat circus march that's somewhat challenging for C tuba fingerings but sits very nicely for B-flat tuba fingerings (as most marches do). Hope you enjoy!
