Jay is right, but they are important notes, and if the tuba is missing its quite noticable. My community orchestra was the subject of a special on PBS a few years ago that was aired nationally, and the one of the pieces was the NWS (the only one that required tuba). Surprisingly, I was shown on TV but not while playing anything.
I would go for it, after all how often do you get to play in Carnegie Hall?
