The RCBB March series is just around the corner, and I’m looking forward to showing off a bunch of terrific soloists from the Band. One of them will be our new principal tuba, Carson McTeer.

Carson has a very impressive resume, having performed with the Colorado Philharmonic, the New Mexico Symphony, the Houston Symphony, and the New World Symphony (Miami Beach, FL). He has also performed with the New York Philharmonic under the baton of Lorin Maazel and the Israel Philharmonic under Zubin Mehta.

You’ll hear Carson demonstrate his amazing virtuosity on an old-fashioned ‘air-varie’ entitled Grandfather’s Clock.

Carson lives in Morgantown, WV, with his wife, Mikylah (who is a Professor of Violin at West Virginia University), and their beautiful daughter, Mazell, which gives me an excuse to post some baby pictures.

I wonder if Mazell will get violin or tuba lessons? Hmm.
