I think the University of Miami is still looking for some tuba players.
You might check in there.

Tyrone Breuninger teaches undergraduate tuba at Rowan University, with Paul Krzywicki the graduate teacher. Here are Tyrone's credentials (taken from Temple's website):
TYRONE BREUNINGER
B.S.Ed., West Chester University; M.M. (Performance), Temple University; studied with Henry C. Smith III, Robert Harper, and James Thurmon; retired Associate Principal Trombone, The Philadelphia Orchestra.
Indiana University of Pennsylvania is actually a great place to study tuba, and a decent school of music, especially for music education. Dr. Bird is a prominent name as an educator, and the school also boasts Dr. Jack Stamp as their Director of Bands.
What happened with the school in Oklahoma? The one with open admission? That sounded like a great idea: you get an opportunity to set your academic affairs straight, and the school is willing to provide you with a full scholarship. Barring this, though, you really should go to a community college before going back to a big university (in fact, I would contend if your academic past is still haunting you, this will be the only way to set your affairs straight...it's EXACTLY what I had to do...).
Good luck. It is never too late to go back to school, but you have to do it right. Besides, if you're serious about it (and I believe you are), then it's worth taking a semester or two at a community college to convince a larger university that you are ready for their academic standards and curricula.
I am so glad I did what I needed to do before heading to Temple. By attending a community college and taking all academic classes, I proved to Temple (and more importantly myself), that I could handle whatever was thrown at me. Two years later I'm still here and I've got a 3.84 GPA.
You can do it Chris!
