James,

I strongly encourage you to use your new-to-you CC horn whenever you play!
This IS of course based upon the assumption that you bought the horn with plans
to learn the fingerings and get better and maybe major on tuba in college.
AND depending on your seriousness about playing, you might consider JUST
concert band and orchestra in the fall (and even from now on), that way
you won't be hosing up your brain (and shoulder)
trying to cover BBflat sarrusa-fone on some field somewhere.
Knowing full well there could be major flames as a result of this advice,
you "might" think it takes stones to say it.
But it takes WAY more cajones to buck the pressure some high school music "professionals"
put on aspiring tubists to trash themselves out on "the playing field."

Best wishes whatever you decide
