Day 13 – Go to a Christmas concert. A fun one is Tuba Christmas. Tuba players join together and play free Christmas concerts. It is a great sound. A town nearby you may have a Tuba Christmas concert soon.
You can also go see the Nutcracker or your school’s winter concert, but if you have never been to a Tuba Christmas event, I highly recommend it. You can find one in your area by going to their website and typing in your state.
Tuba Christmas has been happening for 46 years. The first Tuba Christmas was held at the ice skating rink at Rockefeller Center in New York City. I bet the music sounded awesome bouncing off the skyscrapers.
When I was in college, I learned to play the tuba so I could participate in Tuba Christmas. My hubby has played the tuba since high school, and we both joined the event in 1994. Our concert was held outside and had about fifty tuba and baritone players. So cool.
I have been playing a different Christmas album each day in December. It’s a lot of fun to hear different performers sing familiar carols, but it doesn’t match hearing those songs played live. Take time to take in a concert this month with friends and family. It will brighten everyone’s holiday. Especially if it is tubas.
