The marching version is called a sousaphone. It differs from the concert (indoor) tuba in how the body is shaped. The concert tuba is usually compact while the sousaphone is designed to have a large open coil that can fit around the body of the musician and rest on the left shoulder. This shape makes it easier to carry and play the instrument in Marching Bands. The sousaphone is named after the famous American bandmaster and composer John Philip Sousa, who preferred to use it in his bands. The original sousaphones actually had the bell pointing up rather than forward like most sousaphones now. Another common difference between concert tubas and sousaphones is that many sousaphones are now made from fiberglass to make them even easier to carry (much to the relief of high-school marching band members) - and cheaper (since fiberglass is less expensive than brass).
