I think part of the reason for the instant cameraderie is the physical size of the instrument. It takes considerably more dedication to get a tuba to that community band gig than it does for, say, a flute. A flute case will fit in your back pocket, but a tuba case...
There is also the majestic sound. Without the tubas the rest of the performance just seems lifeless.
Oh yeah; it's really fun to play!!!
