I prefer the faux Latin: singular, tuba; plural, tubae.

Per usual, Wade came up with the best one. 
Not quite as funny might be a be a “gloat” of tubas, as in “more than one - anywhere/anytime”.

A group of baboons is supposedly known as a congress. Our community band started back up last week with musicians from all over north central texas. Out of 50 who showed up, 7 of us were tubas and the largest section. So maybe that makes us a congress. 
Needless to say, next week the conductor is passing out "Them Basses".
