I got a picture taken with a tuba player outside Billy's today. Because of Tomcat

Did the SUMB members have to pay $1 each for those crappy looking ponchos, or did SU foot the bill?

The curse of the Tomcat!

Most likely, you are counting Sousaphones, shown in SWC's photo. Tubas do not go over the shoulder; they are held in front.

Actually I notice they also have tubas next to them. They are just using the Sousaphones for this number. Somebody had some $$$$$.

I think Tom has been saying tuba but meaning sousaphone if so we should chip in and get him the shirt above

A closer look at logos

Sousaphones are used for marching because the shoulder carries the weight. In concert, I think the tubas sometimes rest on a stand, but as a trumpet player, I did not pay a lot of attention because they were always in the back row behind me.

Me too. My report from the UCF vs USC game yesterday: 18 tubas for UCF! Very impressive. Excellent tailgate atmosphere at ucf too. Reminds me of a lower budget southern cal type tailgate environment.
