Although I'd like to be performing on tuba every day, most of my calls are for electric- and upright bass, tenor trombone and bass trombone. At my most recent wedding band gig (on tenor trombone), I had no part for several tunes and was given a tambourine and a mike, so I guess that would qualify as aux. percussion and vocals - that was as fun as the mariachi outfits ;^)

instruments

I play my bohlafone tuba (bohland and fuchs 22 inch bell and 3 bends cloned to a mirafone 186 BBb valve and tuning slide section.
Weril 95 G bass trombone
Yamaha 442 large bore tenor trombone
William Lewis Popper upright with mechanical C extention
Brice fretless 6 string electric bass
kingetzen trumpet clone with delacquered heavy king bell section cloned to a getzen valve cluster
Buffet pre-1960 Bb clarinet
Yamaha 62 tenor sax
no-name soprano sax
I earned my undergrad degree in clarinet. I blew sax and clarinet gigs while in high school, and picked up bass and tuba for fun. After doing some damage to my left shoulder and loosing some dependability in my fingers, I did my grad school work on bass trombone.
Most of my gigs are upright/electric bass/tuba jobs. I keep the woodwind chops up enough to cover something when I get a little notice. (Last summer, I played clarinet/alto/soprano sax in Annie with the original book mostly in B. took a little time to get my fingers in orderwithout having to rewrite my transpositions to cover 3 flute parts that we couldn't cover.)
Playing is fun.
