My theory:
o Tuba players are mostly guys.
o Guys are competitive, especially teenage guys.
o Competition requires objective measurements, so you can be proclaimed the winner.
o You can't measure musicality, but you can measure volume.
o In their minds, they "whooped you good, boy"! (* sigh *)

Thankfully,
o (Most) guys grow out of this at some point.

My opinion, FWIW.

Joe Baker, who was glad to grow out of it, because he always got whooped.
