While I agree that T.U.B.A. is a good name, it has outlasted its usefulness. We got their attention, now we have to show that we are a viable, worthy artistic endeavor. The International Tuba Euphonium Association has a legitimate ring to it, like International Trumpet Guild, or International Trombone Association. Tubists Universal Brotherhood Association, sounds more like (please don't take offense) a college fraternity, than a professional association. I think the name change is a long time coming!
