We did Bugler's Holiday with 3 tubas and band and it went over very well! It should work just fine with euphoniums!

"Polka Dots" by Forest Buchtel is also a tasty litle piece. It is published by Barnhouse as an "Archive Edition".

I would suggest, "The Three Tenors", which is a fairly new piece aranged by James Christensen. It's actually written for 3 Tenor Saxes, but we kiped it for three euphs. :) Tenor arias sound much better on euphonium than sax don't you think? (In fact anything sounds better on euph than TSax). The themes are "Vesti la giubba" from I Pagliacci; "Funiculi, Funicula"; "Torna a Surriento"; "La donnas e mobile" and "O Sole Mio". I would rate this between a grade 3 or 4. Fairly easy.

We gave a copy of the TC Baritone part to the tenor sax so she wouldn't feel left out.
