Performance Sousaphone Care Video

[@alfonsosaldarriaga308]

I literally do most of these and my sousa is fine

[@godzillapowerpufffan8142]

Your video was really helpful because I'm getting a sousaphone for Christmas this year

[@slurpeenut]

dang i have to buy mine

[@nolagdhot]

All of the bands i know are show style bands so they hold the neck Edit: they have the handle on the neck for a reason

[@mikejones2542]

Because due to all the movement one hard step and your neck will swing. Mine does because it's really old and can't hold the neck

[@nolagdhot]

Love to see people who put forth effort to take care and make sure that people take care of their sousas

I always wondered if they made hard cases for souses and how the instrument would be taken apart to fit into it! At my old high school, we had a fiberglass sous that was kept on a stand-seat and rarely played. You're right, though. It's dangerous to run with the sous, but have you ever seen the Kyoto Tachibana SHS Marching Band? They have about 6 souses. Sometimes they use fiberglass ones with "TACHIBANA" painted in big black letters on the bell. Other times they're what appear to be chrome or nickel-plated brass. They actually DANCE with them! Those kids have incredible physical stamina as well as top-notch musicianship beyond their years!

Update I did not get a sousaphone for Christmas 2020 last year I got a saxophone because it was cheaper, but someday I'll get a sousaphone or I will rent one during marching band soon

[@godzillapowerpufffan8142]

Yes I do know they cost about $10,000.00 US Dollars and I am saving up 10,000.00 US Dollars to get a sousaphone

[@godzillapowerpufffan8142]

It sure is! That's for sure! 👍😉

[@THEMIGHTYPANTHERS97]

Might as well buy a used one because I did I did the same thing you’re doing now I saved up a good amount of money and now I’m getting a used conn 36k conn sousaphone

[@godzillapowerpufffan8142]

arthur robinson I might do that

[@THEMIGHTYPANTHERS97]

@@godzillapowerpufffan8142 make sure you don’t pay over a 1000

[@ayescorpion6711]

I hold the neck so I’m able to rest my arm because Sousa’s are heavy

[@jjquon1902-i3n]

Sousa's aren't heavy to me

Bruh I don’t do this crap and it’s fine. And I have to hold it by the neck.

[@TerryByrdJr]

Ghey

[@jupitersteam8321]

on the conn 20k you are suppose to hold the neck

[@lifeat35mm]

Don’t hold the neck?!?!? How else are you to give the business without blowing the Sousaphone off your body. Have you seen an HBCU Band Battle.?!?!? SideNote: In the TSU Aristocratic of Band, we ran laps with our tuba for conditioning 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@garrettlittle8380]

Your supposed to march holdin the. Necl

[@jjquon1902-i3n]

My highschool Sousaphone mouthpipe or neckpipe whatever it's called is cracked or broken so we have to hold the neck so it doesn't break

[@GoofyUniversity]

Pretty sure this vid was made for a very specific band with new sousaphones. This is most likely the section leader’s attempt at keeping them perfect. Because dude… nobody does this stuff.

[@alisonmbell]

❤

[@jupitersteam8321]

conn 20k is one of themost popular sousaphones, and they are made to be abused.

[@yajvanrachakonda9650]

Ay man…this is for a concert tuba not a sousaphone😭
