A Merry Tuba Christmas

This afternoon as I returned home I noticed a crowd beginning to assemble at the Harbor amphitheater. There were no performers in sight, although some chairs had been set up. I was tired and my feet hurt so I just continued on home. When I got there I looked out the window and saw a large herd of people moving purposefully toward the harbor carrying tubas. So, my curiosity piqued, I grabbed my camera, followed them, and was treated to "A Merry Tuba Christmas" concert. Afterwards, on the way home, I ran into one of the tubas and it kindly consented to pose for me with its handler.
