Mainly for the orchestral players....

I'm performing Brigg Fair on tour with an orchestra this summer. I've never played it before; hopefully they'll be sending me the music next week. Apparently, there is a "highish" lick with a D (above the staff) in it. I’m interested in knowing whether people have used C or F for this piece. This is the only piece on all the programs that could possibly require an F tuba. If at all possible, I would like to avoid having to bring two horns on the tour. Through your individual experiences, is it playable on C, or is an F tuba essential?

Please respond privately to avoid unnecessary clutter.
Thanks,
Brock.
