Nope, the bell faces in the same direction as your body. The body of the sousaphone is essentially on your right side with the front branch diagonally across the front of your body. The opening of the sousaphone should never be in front of the body. Another way to say it is that if you are facing the valve cluster you should see the side of the bell. The bell should continue the curve of the body.
