The most aggressive mexican sousaphone playing ever...

Still, its a real interesting concept; synths imitating tubas instead of bass guitars.

Does this mean we're moving up in life?

And for the folks that can't aford a synth or a sous;

I guess I should look into making something like this until I'll save enough to buy real one. Or I can get something like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/Interesting-small-o ... 518ac95542

Are there any Banda recordings out there with great sousaphone player without singing?

That valveless helicon comes out of a German bugle band tradition or Belgian tradition for playing hunting horns in a very ugly way.

I have a sample with 3 pistons. Basically it is a very narrow bore bass valve trombone in Eb.

(and any style of music that features the Sousaphone on an equal or higher level than the trumpets, or even vocalist is OK by me!)

Agreed!! I love Banda's with good sousaphonists!
