[@cringemaster6584]

For a low brass player, this is heaven!

[@pandaninja220]

I will be in their mellophone section next year :)

[@aincapp1714]

I play tuba too.. Everybody will shock when i told them , "oh , i play tuba" and they always say .. "OMG ! you're so small for tuba " ,, yes i am ., 145 cm tall okk

[@mattavenson7542]

Gotta love the tubas on Hey Baby. I'm the only sousa in my marching band and the only one that does pep band. And I will essentially start Hey Baby at a random time, and everyone else just joins in on the singing, and it is just great.

[@justinrichardson6157]

Oh my god are we brothers??

[@mattavenson7542]

Justin R Sousa FTW!

[@chaseshoemaker495]

My band director yells at me when I try that. Y'all are lucky

[@NateFCO]

some have jank convertables others have like legit contras

[@_omega420]

+Nate Hicks I mean it's better than when they had half contras and half sousas in at least as late as 2001. I found an old 9/11 tribute type video of the WCU Marching Band

[@yeti4269]

I wish my high school had contras.....

[@AviDoug]

Lol these don't even look like contras, more like convertible concert tubas. If they are contras, a horrible brand. "Plus most marching bands aren't supposed to march contras because they Don't give as pleasant of a sound as a Sousa phone does.

[@sidewardion]

AlucardIsASweaty Inkling Contras give more of a concert sound, a more round and robust sound. sousaphones were made as concert instruments as first, so in many cases they are smaller, creating a bright sound that in too many hands creates a ratty sound. Contras are the future

[@AviDoug]

Bryson Roberts Yeah my bad, I just learned how much better Contra's sound on the field and Im marching one this year!

[@adamkstephens]

Some of those are convertible tubas, other are the new version marching Bflat tubas. They all are yamahas as far as I can see . A contra is a bugle that is pitched in G.

[@Leo-vr3bg]

+adamkstephens Contrabass refers to thier register.

[@arturmota3674]

Uma banda sem tuba não he nada !!!!

[@jarrodbriley]

The ONE guy with an actual contra. Haha

[@thememer1553]

Jarrod Briley I’m gonna be one of the only people with a contra soon 😂

[@user-nl3op2bm5y]

こんな夢のような ショーがあるなんて…

[@waggs179]

Congrats!

[@REALjohnmosesbrowning]

I really, really, really wanna play contra. BUT ILL NEVER BE ABLE TO

[@anthonygerbino9961]

why

[@nostalgiakarlk.f.7386]

So 2012...

[@bigdingus3489]

If they're going to play like sousaphones, let them use sousaphones. Not contras.

[@robr2882]

thank you

[@citrusblast4372]

its not that easy to get soozys

[@gflgaming8003]

Much easier to buy contras used as there is a surplus at the end of every DCI season

[@bigdingus3489]

No one is understanding what I mean. Jesus help me.

[@gflgaming8003]

Crusader Nomad I understand. They're blatting on basically a "concert" horn considering that most are marching and convertibles. Normally you would only blast on sousas.

[@leonzunigaaxd5785]

como se llama la cancion del minuto 4:32 ?

[@ed5649]

Journey-Don’t Stop Believing

[@MrCopeDipper41]

What the hell kind of contras are those? Get some quantums like real men.

[@awesomekid9431]

Tubas got down

[@eghosaedigin7779]

Hate contras, i would always love the sousas

[@Leo-vr3bg]

+Eghosa Edigin sousas are always out of tune

[@eghosaedigin7779]

Leo Thompson Sousas have a fuller sound

[@Leo-vr3bg]

they can't even be in tune through the tuba section

[@eghosaedigin7779]

Omg and contras are uncomfortable

[@Leo-vr3bg]

that's a matter of opinion, I find contras more comfortable.
