I'm waiting for some He-man Woman Hater's Club member to chime in and brag that their individual World-Class Sound exceeds (in both decibels and excellence) the both the quantity and quality of the sound of any tuba sections imaginable.

Re: Largest band ever, in terms of the tuba section?
I played in this group for three summers in high school and we marched all 3 years in the City of Festivals Parade in Milwaukee, WI. I am pretty sure we had between 70 to 100 sousaphones. The group was big enough that when they made the panoramic picture (with an old style camera that turned on a mechanical panoramic tripod) that the guy on the very end could run behind the group and be on both sides of the picture.
