check out local music stores, a lot of them loan out instruments on a monthly basis pretty cheap, it will probably just be a student model but that would probably be fine...also check out instrument repair shops, often they have older horns "in the back" that might not be the greatest horn but...and finally if you are serious about playing the best thing is to buy a horn

If you're going to stick with the tuba (two days ago you were quitting?), buy a fiberglass sousaphone off eBay or from TubaTinker http://www.thevillagetinker.com/horns_for_sale.htm. Good practice horn and you can sell it to someone else when you're done with it.
Or stay late after school, or take the sousa home. You're going think I'm making this up, but I walked several miles home with a Miraphone in a hard case sometimes in high school. I begged rides from friends since I had no car. Whatever it took.
