Just me messing around playing Mambo from Leonard Bernstein's 'Overture to West Side Story' on the tuba. I'm not very good at tuba, I'm better at bass trombone... as you can see. I get a couple of cracks on some notes. This group is the SYSO (Seattle Youth Symphony Orchestra) Junior symphony on our 2011-'12 run.
I stole the idea of the snarky annotations from the very awesome Jaybassoon who's example video and channel are available here:

Please check him out!
I believe that I'm playing a Perantucci PT-24 or something on a school Mirafone tuba.
This music doesn't belong to me, I just played it :D
