Tubagirl,
You may want to rent a school tuba for the meantime. If you can, pick out the best one they have, and maybe even put a little of your own money into it to get it to play better; This will at least give you some time to shop around. You don't want to rush into spending thousands of dollars on a horn that may not be what you really want. $80 / semester is dirt cheap for a decent 4 valve rotary horn. Like I said this would just be a temporary solution. But only being in 9th grade you really have lots of time to make this decision. Please be patient.
