Tubas, not music

This BBS seems to focus on tubas and different makes and models, the difference between different tubas, piston or rotary valves, CC or BB or F or Eb, what they're made of and how well they're made, who played them in what orchestra in the past, and tuba gear in general. But what about the music? Tubas are musical instruments and I would think that the dozens (sometimes hundreds) of posts a day would occasionally have something to do with music. The Vaughan-Williams concerto and orchestral excerpts aren't the only things that can be played on a tuba. Does no one hear actually play MUSIC with their tubas -- or does everyone just collect them, learn about what they look like and how effective they are at playing high and low and loud and soft, and talk about how much they know about other tuba players?
