And with that outlook, you may be able to make the baritone work regardless of the type of ensemble you are in. Just ask the folks sitting near you, the person who assigns the parts, and the conductor, if your sound/tone is matching what they want to hear. If they are good with it, then feel free to disregard the conventional wisdom of what kind of horn belongs in what kind of ensemble. Play for good sound and for joy (smile)! The rest is gravy.

PS - Look for musical material published by the Salvation Army. We use both the euphonium and the baritone in our groups, so both parts will be there. But then, TSA is patterned after British Brass Band, because that is its roots.
