My tuba gig bag normally has my mouthpiece, Hetman #2, Chopsaver, the appropriate folder and a #2 pencil, if it is a band or orchestra gig.

For jazz gigs, I'm normally doubling, so it is instead an orange plastic milk crate that contains a heavy-duty 50' cord, an 8' Monster cable, a stand light in original box for safe-keeping, Pops bass rosin, extra black socks, and an old Conn sousaphone accessory pouch which contains my mouthpiece, tuning bits, Hetman #2, a #2 pencil, cheesecloth, Chopsaver, a razor and a screwdriver. If it's summertime, there is also a towel in the crate.

I have no idea, neither of my personal tubas have left my room in a long time. I did find a vest I'd been looking for for months in it once, though. :mrgreen:

I don't have a bag (though I've been meaning to get one for ages) instead I cart around an old tupperware container with
- mouthpiece brush
-mi-t-mist
-toothbrush
-toothpaste
-valve oil
-tuner
-metronome
-old iphone with a tuner, metronome, drone, drumbeat, and recording apps (plus recordings of all my rep)
-iphone mic
-decent headphones
-a piece of clear fishtank tubing for the end of my mouthpiece
-a little bag with 10 pennies in it
-post-it notes galore
-bobby pins and hair elastics

my pencil lives in my folder which unfortunately doesn't fit in my little bin. :) :tuba:
