I've seen this problem all too often, It seems to occur the most in small college and community bands, with trombone and tuba players. Most of these people are merely scared that they will be exposed for the mediocre musicians they are. Believe me, I feel your pain! I've seen too many fairly decent players fall prey to their oversized and fragile egos.I believe the best advice, is to be the absolute best tuba player with the most professional demeanor. This person will most likely not like you if you can outplay him, but others will respect you for keeping your cool. Be polite and never show that his "advice" bothers you. Remember, you quit and he wins.
