Hello,
As has been said before it depends on the situation. I was never a field commander in high school. . . We had four tubas for a band of 250. College has been a different story for me. I am a tuba performance major and, I would like to think, and extremly strong player, but we have a band of three hundred and have twenty sousaphones, so the difference one player makes is changed. I am one of three field commanders of the Miami University Marching Band. Sometimes I miss being a tuba player, but I think I am getting more satisfaction personally and contributing more of what I can to the band from the front. The band has responded very well to me, but of course, your mileage may very. . . The other nice thing about being field commander is that it gets my private teacher off my back about blowing my chops in marching band. . . good luck on whatever you decide and have fun, no matter what happens. . .
