Shepherd's Hey on Contra

Author: Don Poulsen

I probably should ask my conductor this and will, but I'm playing the bass sax part on contra on Grainger's "Shepherd's Hey". In places I share the melody with the tubas. (It ain't often you get the melody on contra!) In your opinion, should I (a) play it as written in unison with the tubas or (b) take it down an octave to add more of the lower harmonics? (It occasionally goes down to a low C, which my instrument can't play, but I could leave those few notes where they are.)
