Greetings TubeNetizens!
Is it okay to take multiple tubas to an audition for a pro ensemble? Is it expected? Are there "bonus points" to be had by playing everything on a contrabass horn for a band audition? What about a bass horn for an orchestra audition?
How many tubas does it take...?

The Marines I have seen around the world have the cleanest bodies, the filthiest minds, the highest morale, and the lowest morals of any group of animals I have ever seen. Thank God for the United States Marine Corps!

You should take whatever and how many tubas you need to play your best...

For a band audition that's all large ensemble stuff with no quintet, I would bring only a contrabass unless you're a bass tuba guy.
