Well, me being a euph player, I'd say brass band. Euph brass band parts are very fun as well as challenging, and the size (28) of the group allows you to be heard, and requires individual strength from each member, kinda like a large chamber group.

As far as lit--I can agree with a lot of what people say about orchestra vs. band. But, then again, I am thinking just as much about what part I will play in the experience--will it be significant, or will I be counting rests for 20 minutes while I stare at the back of some viola players head? I personally would rather play a "good" part in "lesser" music than count rests in Wagner, Strauss, etc... I mean, hey, if I want to listen to orchestral music, I'll buy orchestra tickets, or maybe use that neato CD player thing in the other room.. :)
