We're in a tuba crisis! Our 40 year old tuba has sadly played its last note. To keep our band from sounding like a karaoke night gone wrong, we need your help to raise funds for a new one.
Every dollar counts! Please share this link and check your wallets to help us bring a shiny new tuba home to use for hopefully the next 40 years.
Thank you for your support!
