I don't know what you call it side action?
Front action?
It's just.
It just is.
It just is.
It's different.
Just action.
[Jaunty second line music] The tuba is a brass instrument and also one of the lowest brass instruments.
It can be made out of brass or plastic.
This right here is a sousaphone.
It's meant to be in outside in marching band contexts, which is why you put it on your body.
And the bell faces out towards the audience.
The sousaphone is also named after John Philip Sousa.
What do you call half a tuba?
A One-ba!
I love John Philip Sousa.
I just love his marches.
[Stars and Stripes Forever] He's like the founder of the American March, and he's the reason why the U.S. band is one of the most prolific performing groups in the world.
We play tuba.
And so can you.
