I remember a meme where it talked about one rehearsal where the tubas were giggling. Got to their part, sounded like a foghorn. Everyone stops. "THERE WERE FOUR FS"

As a tuba player, NEVER tell us to play louder. We see it as a challenge and will get louder until we cannot get louder anymore.

Ah yes, brass. Where “play louder” means “take your foot off the brake”

Others: "Hey, we can't quite hear you. Could play just a bit louder, please?"
Tuba, ready to play the ancient war horns of his ancestors: "Yeah, sure"

If no one hears the tuba, then it’s a you problem not the tuba problem

Low brass is always holding back. Fff is default, everything else is restrained

I recall this from marching band. Competition judge comment: “where are you hiding the rest of your tubas?” (there were 3 of us, and we were louder than another band’s 6 tubas)

My favorite quote was "French horns you're too loud!" in our defense it did say fff, and we NAILED it. He was massively surprised to have to say that.

If everyone’s teeth aren’t rattling their ain’t enough tuba. Section leader always said “Let our presence be known!”

Marching band director once told our group of 7 tubas (sousaphones) to “play as loud as possible without cracking” only to be met with the ear splitting sound of 3 cargo ships in the room with us

it was a running gag in our band that the trombone would blow out everybody's ears in one specific part of our Christmas piece. It made everyone burst out giggling every time
