For a HS student I would recommend a good 4/4 horn over the 5 and 6/4's. The Conn 52 and 56J's are nice horns, also the Hirsbrunner rotary 4/4's. Meinl Weston 2145's are popular too.

If you're convinced a larger tuba would be your thing, the PT-6's are excellent if you don't mind some TLC to prevent valve sticking. I like the Willson 3050's too, but they're not for everyone.

There's alot of tubas to choose from, good luck with it.
