Mutes suck.
I use my Denis Wick mute when I absolutely have to use it. I have also used Humes and Berg. I have yet to need a mute for my Sousaphone here in the Ceremonial Band :)
As far as the USNA Band goes, ya gotta ask Jarrod that one. I am pretty sure he has the same passion for mutes that most of us have .... Useless, ineffective, dent causing, expensive, pain in the rear to tote for 3 notes, dust gathering, out of tune, inappropriate spittoons.
