That's not a tuba, it's a sousaphone.

Female brass players were rare in HS and rarer still in college.

Do they mean tuba or double bass sousaphone?

Either way, if these gals like it and are good at it, you go girls!

It’s the quarter notes that will get you.

I drive a school bus with a woman who played the trombone for one of the Marine bands. Quite a character 🇺🇸

To be a tubby tuba player or not to be. That is the question.

My wife played the tuba for the Penn State Marching Band, just before we met in 1996. She’s only 5’ 7” and the most feminine woman I’ve ever known.

That’s the kind of daughter I’d want, if I had a daughter.

I could never figure out why anybody would want to learn how to play a tuba. If I was in high school and desired to join the marching band, my instrument of choice would be a flute......

I always preferred the girls that played the slide trombone.

A bit off-topic, but here’s a good prank to play on a marching band brass player:

Provide yourself with a good juicy lemon and go to a parade. When the band comes by, catch the eye of a horn player and take a big bite of the lemon. In a moment, he or she will drown the instrument with spit.
