Many orchestras have a round of playing with other members of the trombone and tuba section as a part of the finals. This is an important time since it will show if you can quickly adjust and blend with the other players.
Most important is your ability to play in tune with the other players. Tune carefully. Listen critically to the others. Don't be timid; approach the excerpts with fullness and confidence. You are attempting to become a peer of the other players on stage so act like one. Be respectful, but don't fall all over yourself in awe that you are playing with "symphony musicians."
Remember that the other section members are in a sense playing an audition, too. There they are, having to play in a section with a total stranger in front of their music director after having not played all day long. They want to look good and most likely will do all they can to make you feel comfortable.
