All sousaphones are tubas, but not all tubas are sousaphones.
Sousaphones are simply tubas which have been engineered for use in marching bands; they wrap around the body rather than sitting on the lap, and the bell points outward rather than upward. A person playing a sousaphone is still called a tubist.

That’s some band if it has only flutes and tubas in it. Why not something more trollish, like an oboe?

Tuba or not tuba, that is the question.
Could you repeat the question? I march in front of the tuba player so I’m a little hard of hearing.

Anyone who thinks a flute is “girly” has never seen Jethro Tull.

Why wouldn’t they let him play his brapper? He’s had months to practice it by now…

*Q:* How to you keep a sousaphone from getting pregnant?
*A:* Have its tubas tied.

Playing that thing can give you bad breath. He should get a tuba toothpaste.

Those are the instruments because a lot of parents complained about there being too much sax and violins.
