Tuba gets featured at about 3:04.
Anybody know what kind of convertible he is using. Is it a BBb or Eb?
Just saw these guys on the local news and they definitely are high energy. Makes you want to get up and dance.

THis might help you figure it out - I don't know Convertibles that well.

YBB-201M (Yamaha BBb). Don't know why folks insist on having that 3rd valve slide 'sticking out' like that. It can be turned around so the loop is on the inside out of the way and less vulnerable to damage.
