No there isn't.
Our Low Brass/Woodwinds section has been titled The Black Hole. Anyone else gotta name?? I'm in the band with 2 of my best friends. We call our selves the "Low Brass Ladys". We have 2 baritones, and a trombone.

Shadow Deadeye Is there any diffrence between Baritone T.C. And B.C besides diffrent notes on the bar line. They play the same notes and everything, just T.C. is written differently to make it easier for players who have recently switched from Trumpet.

heartsblood1234 I play Baritone. It's amazing how many people don't know what it is, so i just say that it's below a trumpet and above a tuba. Whenever I say I play Baritone, people are like; "What, like Baritone Sax?" And I always used to have to resort to calling it a small tuba. So I figured screw it, and now I just say Euphonium. Me: I play Euphonium. Person: confused question

A Euphonium is a concert Baritone isn't it?
I wish our Low Brass had a name... Maybe this year. This is upcoming Marching Band season will be my first year on Tuba.

no wonder I've never seen one, my school doesn't do any marches or anything. Although we do a few concerts and festivals. I'm pretty sure I've seen one. Are they like Baritones that are played like trumpets, as in how they're made?

They look like a miniature concert tuba. The ones that are held up like trumpets are marching baritones. My BD talked to me about it a while ago.

ive always heard that a baritone is conical, and the bell usually faces out, and a euphonium is cylindrical and it looks like a small tuba. everyone i know just says baritone though.

[SpontaneousSpaz] How hard is it to switch from trombone to susaphone? (sp?) I'm not switching until band camp but I was just wondering. Well, first of all the fingerings are different and the susaphone requires a lot more air because it is really big.

Just practice breathing exercises before you go to play. One that works well for me is laying on the ground and putting my hands over my stomach. Then close the eyes, relax and take deep breaths, counting 4 seconds in, four seconds out. Longer if you can. Also, think about filling air from your stomach up. Another thing is practicing long tones. Even if you are just working with a trombone, long tones will help when you start tuba. I've been playing for several weeks and as long as you spend some time with a tuba fingering chart and a mouth piece, I'm sure you'll do fine.
