Insisting that a sousaphone is not a tuba is like insisting that a station wagon is not an automobile. And insisting that everybody should carry them the same way is even more silly. You do whatever you can to keep from killing your shoulder and to make some kind of music on the field at the same time. If my shoulder is not exactly like the next guy's, then I'm going to hold the horn differently. If appearance is so important, why not just hire ROTC drill teams to carry sousaphones the way they carry those silly wooden rifles? Then they could make all the instruments look alike too, and get rid of those silly piccolos and saxophones....
