I agree with the consensus so far. It takes a certain personality to want to play tuba. I always tell people, when they ask about my personality, that no one can start playing tuba and take themselves completely seriously at the same time. With the parts we all started out playing in 6th grade band, people who took themselves to seriusly would hate band. We had to be willing to get people to respect our playing before our instrument. It all comes in due time, though.
