at my fine university, we have a marching band, a symphonic band, a wind symphony, and a symphony orchestra. most of the area high schools also have a symphonic band as their lower ensemble, and the wind symphony as their more prestigious group. indeed, i think it's merely perception in the name. you're right though, all it is is a bunch of hot heads blowing air into their instruments. (well, at least the tubas

)

ahh i love playing tuba. *hugs tuba*

Totally killed several chances I had with girls in college.

If those chicks were THAT fickle and THAT narrow-minded... they wouldn't have been worthwhile, anyway. At least not after the first couple of hours.

Just show 'em this picture of Lenny Kravitz with the sousaphone, as evidence that tuba players can be REALLY cool!
