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

admin — Tue, 16 Aug 2011 00:19:06 +0000

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.

One such talk was the very informal but in-depth class, “Anarchism 101″ at the National Conference on Organized Resistance, at the American University in Washington DC, in 2003 and 2004.

University of Minnesota professor Keith Mayes discusses the holiday tradition, Kwanzaa, a seven-day cultural holiday starting December 26 and ending January 1.
