Ya know,
I am one of those guys with range and I also have a lot more fun out of my jazz bands than I do out of my orchestras and wind bands... (sidenote: Although rencently I'm having a lot more fun in brass bands...) Anyways, all that to echo what Mr. Rowuk said. However, something that I had to learn (the hard way) was that musicianship IS above all. Even is he is sceraming dubba d's at 16 years old, no one will listen to it if their isn't any heart or music in it.
Please man, listen to these guys, learn MUSIC, not notes!! It'll save you a ton of trouble in the future. If you can honestly own a dubba D then you are WAY ahead of the ballgame in the range department. Work on other things like your sound, shaping the phrase, articulation, etc.

Keep blowin',
