<br>If you are young and energetic and that is what you want to project, stand up and dance around! If you are older and not so much concerned with that energy thing, sit down. I have done it both ways since the late 1970s, there are no rules. I prefer to play tuba sitting down, but I can still play Sousaphone or Helicon standing up sometimes. <div><br></div><div>David Richoux</div><div><br>On Thursday, February 14, 2019, Madison T <<a href="mailto:maditayl@gmail.com">maditayl@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto">Dayuuuuuummmm!

I remember a gig where I was subbing with this New Orleans-style band, and a lady came up to the bandstand at the break and asked why we were sitting to play. Without missing a beat, the leader said, "What's good enough for the symphony is good enough for us."<br>
