Tuba and Euphonium Ensemble

About the UGATEE

The UGA Tuba-Euphonium Ensemble is a credit class that meets three times weekly. The group performs on campus at least once a semester and has recently performed at the 2008 International Tuba Euphonium Conference in Cincinnati and the 2007 Army Band Tuba Euphonium Conference in Washington, DC. The group has also performed at the 2002 ITEC in Greensboro,  the 2002 Army Band Tuba Euphonium Conference and at the 2000 ITEC held in Regina, Saskatchewan.

Literature performed in this group includes serious original compositions for tuba ensemble, transcriptions of orchestral literature, and lighter transcriptions. Most of the music performed presents technical challenges that students may not encounter in their other performing organizations.
