International Tuba Day

May 1st is International Tuba Day. What is ITD? Well: "Joel Day founded International Tuba Day in 1979 while attending Lower Merion High School in suburban Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Being one of only two tuba players in the band and finding a lack of respect from his fellow classmates, he decided to set a day aside for our recognition as reputable musicians." Yup, a band nerd who couldn't get respect of even the other band nerds decided to make up a holiday in a vain attempt to achieve the respect of the nerd collective known as high school band. (Nerd Collective, totally going to be the name of my new Indie band!)

So why do I care about ITD? Because you can register your own ITD event! Totally going to have a Bluntest ITD Celebration. It's going to be awesome. Hopefully we can score some sweet shirts
