While I agree that TUBA is a much cooler acronymn, I understand the reasons behind the change. The first reason was due to the fact that the name left out the Euphoniums, which make up a large portion of the membership. The other big reason was due to the use of the word "brotherhood," conveniently excluding female tuba and euphonium players. Hope this helps, Jeff
