Here is a question to just about all the active Tuba players out there. How many Tubas is too many, and how do you go about getting them to play as unison a section as possible? I have been playing in a fairly good community band for the past 6 years and we regularly have 6 to 8 players. I am looking for some ideas to help the section become more of a section without offending any of the players wonderful voluntary efforts. Sometimes I feel I should move on and most of the time I just want to make the section better. Any thoughts and or experiences welcome...one other question, is it crazy to have an Eb player cover the Bb Euphonium band music when you have no Euphonium or baritone players?
