That is awesome that you enjoy playing the tuba! It's such an integral part of any wind ensemble, really, but tubas particularly add that nice richness and depth to the low brass sound. I played the French Horn throughout middle school, high school and 2 years in college, and you low brass guys were my favorites to work with.

I didn't hear Mancini's "Baby Elephant Walk" until I heard a friend play it for juries in college. I'm not well-versed in tuba solos by any means, but that solo is still my hands-down favorite. What a great piece.
