After Ray Faiola mentioned that Goldsmith's EXECUTIVE DECISION score commenced with a tuba solo, I noticed that Williams' 3 LOST IN SPACE scores on the single disc have got tuba for days, tuba to beat the band, and tuba that just won't quit.
Any other notable tuba moments?
P.S. Tuba solos that accompany elephants onscreen do not count. Too obvious!

Did I do that?? I don't even know the score!
But as long as we're on the subject of tubas, when I was about 11 years old, I flew by myself to Miami (yes - in a plane!). I sat next to an elderly gentleman who, after we began talking, revealed that he was a tuba player in the RKO orchestra. The MSMS journal later had a photo of this gent. I wish I had been older when I met him, I would have had a million questions!.
The norwegian national football team had played a crap game, and the boss of the football association said that the players should rather start playing tuba.
