5-6-23 Pushing The Envelope: Music Decidedly Left of Center Celebrates International Tuba Day!!

Greetings!

For the second year in a row, Pushing The Envelope is happy to be celebrating International Tuba Day (May 1) which occurs yearly on the first Friday of May. It was founded by a gentleman named Joel Day in 1979 while attending Lower Merion High School in suburban Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Being one of only two tuba players in the school band and finding a lack of respect from his fellow classmates, he decided to set a day aside for our recognition as reputable musicians.

International Tuba Day was created for both tuba players and non-tuba players alike to learn more about the significance of the tuba in our musical society. For additional info, please check out the ITD website, http://www.tubaday.com/. 

 

Enjoy!

Joel
