    Table of Contents Welcome Letters Pages 1-2 NERTEC Schedule of Events Pages 3-5 NERTEC Daily Events Schedule Pages 6-17 Biographies Pages 22-46 Dear Friends, It was in the seventh grade that the band director, Mr. Geary, decided that while I already played the piano and the violin, I was going to take up the tuba. I was the biggest kid in the school, unusually big at an early age, and this was not only pre-internet, but pre-fiberglass. Real sousaphones—the brass kind—weigh close to 50 pounds (at least mine did). It was assigned to me; I didn’t exactly choose it. While it was an arranged marriage, we did manage to fall in love. As college approached and even through my freshman year in music school, it was a toss-up between the piano (my other instrument) and my Miraphone 184. Two more different instruments have never existed. The piano has over ten thousand moving parts, requires a whole extra person to play in tune, and is for many people a cross between a piece of furniture and a typewriter. Not so the tuba. This is not something you sit in front of. This, you wrap your arms around and hold lovingly on your lap. The piano produces sound by hitting things; the tuba, we sing through, sometimes to the point where I couldn’t tell whether the vibration was in the tuba or in my body. The two become one. And on a good day, we can play in tune all by ourselves, thank you.
