I are alot of conductors that are total idiots though our job is to play as they ask. This doesn�t mean leaving out your personality when you play only what they ask for as far as style, volume etc.. is concerned. I also feel that there a 1 million ways to play the tuba solo so don�t worry what anybody else does. Listen to recordings for guides but play it how you feel it (with good taste). Good luck.
