	In my admittedly limited experience there is only one tuba part for
concert band (as opposed to two for brass band). I have not seen more than
one voice in any tuba scores. I guess my point is that basses in brass
bands seem to be much more integral to the scoring, especially in modern
arrangements.
	Norm, Adrian and other "wind ensemble" gurus - I am just a little paranoid
, as a reaction to the rather ignorant and superior attitude of some
concert band/orchestra/music Conservatorium types to brass bands.
