How many tubas does it take...?

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?

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.
