Mr. Press makes some really great suggestions.

I justed switched 4 of my 10 - 6th grade trumpet players to tuba and euphonium. I told them how I went to college and graduate school on full scholarships and then I played some solos from my graduate recital. I had to actually turn some kids down. I'm not bragging about my playing, they just never heard a tuba play something like the Roy Mitchel Jazz Suite and other things.

There is an article in April or May's SBO about enticing students to play Freedom horn (I know, old joke). There are some good suggestions there as well.
