Tuba / Euphonium Ensemble
Chris Hosmer, Director
The JSU Tuba/Euphonium Ensemble is made up of all tubas and euphoniums. We perform anything and everything in various genres of music. The ensemble meets once a week to play challenging music, socialize, and have a good time. The Tuba/Euphonium Ensemble is open to any tuba or euphonium player who is a student of JSU or Alumni of JSU. We always welcome our former members to come back and play with the ensemble if they wish. There is no audition; chair positions are often switched to best suit the playing of the music. Occasionally, we invite other instrumentalists to play with the ensemble.
Our ensemble has travelled throughout the southeast and performed at many Southeast Regional Tuba Euphonium Conferences (SERTEC) of ITEA and also at the International Conference (ITEC). Conferences we've performed at:
- SERTEC 2011 - Chattanooga, TN (UTC)
- SERTEC 2013 - Jacksonville, FL (UNF)
- SERTEC 2015 - Knoxville, TN (UT)
- ITEC 2016 - Knoxville, TN (UT)
- SERTEC 2017 - Tuscaloosa, AL (UA) with ENCORE Show Choir
- SERTEC 2022 - Kennesaw, GA (KSU)
The ensemble is also well known for its performances with ENCORE! Show Choir in our annual Tubaween show (2009-present).
