Ran into both of these. I've played the circus twice. Once under Mr. Evans, and once not under him. I got both reactions in this posting so far. One woud not even consider the electric bass, and the other would not even consider tuba.

I ran into another situation with rodeo bands. I had the pleasure to play one where the band was manned by a grand total of 6 players. Of course, we all had those fast barn-burner marches to play, but the bass lone had to be covered by an electric bass player; according to the band master.

I love playing those really fast marches in B, not Bb.
