Without further delay let's go into matter.

After the reception of attendees, about 270, and the first rehearsals for the Contest that will be from 21 to 23, we started the Festival with the official Inauguration, where we received a warm welcome from Mrs. Ana Guijarro, Director of the RCSMM, our President Eduardo Nogueroles, Kevin Wass President of ITEA and Manuel Dávila as coordinator of the Festival's organizing committee.

The musical part of this endearing opening was put by the Tubas group of the RCSMM with a varied and interesting repertoire with works by M.Kamen, G.Holtz / M.Forbes, R. Szentpali and G Danner, thus putting the "first sounds" in the Inauguration Act in which as "extra" we enjoyed a work in performance for 2 Tubas, Piano and Narrator entitled "Requiem for Wounded Knee" by the North American composer Elizabeth Raum very well interpreted by the Tuba Teachers of the RCSMM and their companions.

The morning activity
We all know how important and necessary are the MATUTINE WARMINGS to start the day well instrumentally speaking, and they were commissioned by Misa Mead (Euphonium, Composer, Freelance and Artist Besson), Sergio Rey (Tuba, Orchestra Filarm, Málaga), José Luis Bueno (Euphonium and Professor of the Victoria de los Angeles Conservatory of Madrid), Jonathan Sevilla (Tuba of the Orchestra of the Community of Madrid) Pep Burguera and the Tubas with another great instrument of our instruments in Spain, I mean Vicente Castelló, Luis Manuel Resino (Euphonium) and Walter Stormont (Tuba), David Abellan and Miguel Moreno.

Undoubtedly the RECITALS, abounded in the well thought-out program of the festival.
There were all kinds of them, with the magnificent accompaniment of the pianists who collaborated so brilliantly in the Festival: Carmen Yepes, Irene de Manuel, Yuko Mizutani and Omar-Jonatas Sánchez, from "formally" groupings and others in the heat of this great Festival , etc.

This year we did not actually have a CD presentation but many guests and attendees brought their latest "phonograph" works and put them at the disposal of those interested.

Proposals by Øystein Baadsvick, Robert Benton, the Duo Sintgama, The Israel Tuba Duo, among others were some of them.

Israel Tuba Duo
Books as such we only had a very interesting "initiative" and in my opinion attractive by the form and the background, and it was the presentation in "Tubistica society" of a Novel Method of teaching metal wind instruments called "Brass School". This methodology had one of its creators as a presenter, I mean Eduardo Nogueroles, along with Conrado Gastaldo, Carmelo Romaguera and Javier Cerveró. Great idea that had an interested public.

The programmed CONFERENCES were all very interesting and very pleasantly received.
We had Conferences by Joaquín Soler and Luis Vidal on an interesting subject such as "Intellectual Property", José M. Redondo (Prof. of the CSM of Salamanca and Tuba of the OSCyL) with his Conference "Song and Wind", Miguel Galdon on " Musical Marketing ", Jordi Albert" Prevention of Injuries and Neuromotor Disorders in Wind Metal musician ", Vicente Pascual and Sara Magán" Self-management in musician activity ", David Muñoz" Job opportunities for our instruments in the XXI Century ", Luis Zenner "Focal Dystonia" and a historically important "The creation of the Tuba Class in the RCSMM. of Vicente Cremades, Miguel Moreno and the Director of that time, Ms. Encarnación López.
Master Class Walter Stormont and Javier Castaño

The WORKSHOPS all of great benefit were made by Javier Castaño (Soloist of the Scala of Milan) and "our" Walter Stormont (Soloist of the Symphony Orchestra of Madrid) on the use of the Cimbasso in the operatic repertoire, its history, use current, difficulties and demand of this unique member of our family, the Workshop of Didjeridoo by Pedro Martín, Liliana Robleda with his Workshop on "Postural Education", Workshop on "La Tuba en el Jazz", given by José Luis Martín. One very curious and interesting about the logical comparison of which instruments are good and others bad according to the criterion and particular interests of the person who defends or denostes them. Well of it I treat the workshop of A. Zara and finally Pedro Sucias brought us a Workshop entitled "Training my Music"

Wessex Exhibition
An event of this caliber must have EXHIBITIONS and COLLABORATORS of all kinds. With discounts and attractive offers for attendees here were among others: Erviti (representative in Spain of Alexander, Tiger, Geneva Group and Gara), La Musa (accessories and instruments Eastman), Aitana Music (representative of Willson), Sanganxa (Adams, St.Petersburg.), Low Brass Store (Miraphone), Wessex, Buffet Group (B & S, Melton, Besson), Metall i Fusta (instrument repairers), TodoNotas and Gewa (Conn)

OTHER COLLABORATORS: Royal Conservatory Superior of Music of Madrid, Grupo Quilez, Caja Rural Villar, National Institute of Performing Arts and Music INAEM, Community of Madrid, Association of Performers and Performers AIE, Madrid City Council, Municipal Symphonic Band of Madrid, International Tuba and Euphonium Association ITEA, Spanish Confederation of Musical Societies, El Creata, Sala Nubel of the Reina Sofía Museum, Banda de Villarejo de Salvanes, Band of the Regional Federation of the Autonomous Community of Madrid, etc.

The DEBATES, are meeting places to exchange opinions, learn, confront. On this occasion, two took place.

One was "Tuba y Bombardino ¿Instrumentos de Hombres?" Moderated by Belen Ramiro and with the participation of Marisa Manchado, Nieves Hernández, Ana Isabel Martín and Sara de Vega, who clearly explained the current reality and the aspirations of equality for women within the musical guild. Very successful in these times of feminine vindication and #MeToo. Bravo!!!.

Different Teaching Schools of the Tuba and the Euphonium
The other Debate was a continuation (unfinished subject) about the "Different Teaching Schools of the Tuba and the Euphonium" directed by the one who humbly signs these chronicles, and who counted as guests with Miguel Moreno, Kevin Wass, Misa Mead, Patricio Cosentino , Pablo Fernández and Avital Handler, in addition to the undersigned.

It is encouraging to see and help the many attendees to understand aspects inherent to the interpretation of our instruments seen from the perspective and experience of renowned interpreters. Hopefully we can repeat this experience in future events, because there are always new things to learn and understand. Thanks for the confidence!!!

One of the reasons for this event is the AETYB COMPETITION.

This competition divided into 6 categories (Tuba Artists, Euphonium Artists, Tuba Young Artists, Euphonium Young Artists, Tuba Young Promises and Young Euphoria) had a duration of three days in which they were winners:
• Tuba Artists: David Soriano
• Euphonium Artists: Carlos Fluixa
• Tuba Young Artists: Miguel Osca
• Euphonium Young Artists: Eduard Gisbert
• Tuba Jóvenes Promesas: Samuel Hernández
• Euphonium Young Promises: Marcos Ponce
It is pleasing to see the high level displayed by the contestants and the confirmation of the promising future of our instruments in Spain. CONGRATULATIONS TO THE AWARDS AND THEIR FAMILIES !!!

In the evenings came what I traditionally call "Tubist's Rest". The classic and always expected AETYB NIHGT this time to raise awareness with the city that welcomes us called "Movida's Night AETYB for that of the unforgettable 80's and his longed for" Movida Madrileña "

This time it was the NOUBEL Hall of the Reina Sofía Museum, a few meters from the Festival venue. This time we have the famous Portuguese Tubist Gil Gonçalves with his great, extensive and well-prepared jazz recital. The "Movida Madrileña", which gave us very pleasant and unforgettable moments with that "Band of Tubas" improvised and integrated by Festival assistants and guests interpreting popular songs from those unforgettable 80's and the exquisite Dixieland by Luis Zenner.

This year the youngest ones, which were not many, had a single activity directed especially to them and this was the responsibility of the QuarTubass group. A very applauded and grateful activity for the most supportive attendees.

As a novelty, this year we had a "Photo Contest" with a clear theme, leave graphic evidence of everything that was possible about what happened at the Festival and who won the most "likes" on social networks. Thanks to this, there were pleasant memories that can be seen on the Association's Facebook page and on the social networks of the participants, which will make us relive intense moments.

The ASSEMBLY OF PARTNERS took place as each meeting with their usual delivery of accounts, reading minutes and others. From this meeting I think it is appropriate to highlight three things
1- The well-deserved election of "our" teacher Miguel Moreno as honorary member of the Association.
2- The integration of 2 new members to the Directive for the final part of the current mandate that ends in 2020

3-The debate and request of several assistants to reconvert the AETYB Festivals into an entity of greater official recognition, going on to name them Congress and the search of the "officialization" of the articles written on the web by means of the application of the well-known ISBN, issue is that It is already in the process of being requested.

A balance was also made of several things of interest such as the fluctuation of partners, the little collaboration in articles for the web in the last year, or the duality of belonging to AETYB and ITEA.

It was exciting the amount of CONCERTS that we had the opportunity to attend, almost all of first-class guest soloists and magnificently accompanied by the Municipal Music Band of Madrid, the Band of Music of Villarejo de Salvanes and the Band of the Regional Federation of the Autonomous Community of Madrid.

The Soloists of these Concerts were Øystein Baadsvik, Matt Tropman, Misa Mead, Ricardo Carvalhoso, Robert Benton, David Muñoz, Jonathan Sevilla, Jose Vicente Climent, Jesús Navas.

Special mention deserves the one that we offered the members of the AETYB ENSEMBLE formed by more than 300 Tubas and Euphoniums (among festival attendees and external guests), in the Plaza of the Reina Sofía Museum with a diverse and attractive program under the direction of Kevin Wass, Eduardo Nogueroles, Brian Bowman, Manuel Dávila, José Luis Bueno, Miguel Moreno and Sergio Rey
AETYB Ensemble

At the time of the Final Concerts, we first attend the demand that provokes listening and getting to know the representatives of those who are seen as an excellent future of our instruments in SPAIN. I refer to the winners of the various categories of the 3rd AETYB Concert accompanied magically by the AETYB MADRID Symphonic Band formed by musicians who selflessly came together to collaborate with this project under the intense and correct direction of José Luis Bueno, who also directed at the Closing Concert to the Big Band AETYB MADRID with equal exquisiteness, counting as soloists with the young talent of the Bombardino Ramón Gómez and with the great David Childs who left a masterful imprint to the audience.

In these concerts the prizes were awarded to the Photo Contest whose winner was Javier Boluda and Miguel Moreno was formally presented with his "distinction" as an Honorary Member of AETYB.

To end the seats that wanted it, we celebrated a fraternal and pleasant farewell dinner of this wonderful Festival that few are the words to describe the good work of its organizers.

The last Dinner together
It was in the previous to the Closing Concert with awards and distinctions, speeches, mutual thanks between AETYB and ITEA, etc., where the city selected to host the 4th "AETYB Congress" was unveiled and it is how everyone will know the Andalusian city of MÁLAGA

Repose and assume all the lived experiences that many have been shaped and will continue to be in our social networks. As the old saying goes, "remember is to live again" and the illusion with the next appointment that awaits us, which surely will be wonderful, fascinated and seductive, will make us drunk with that Mediterranean breeze of the Andalusian Mediterranean.

Good luck to the organizers, to whom from here with humility, I offer my sincere collaboration.

A see you soon and Many thanks to all with my best wishes.

See you at AETYB MALAGA 2020.
