you are missing a great branch of the literature - namely Salvation Army marches from composers such as Eric Ball, Bram Coles, George Marshall, Arthur Gullidge and Dean Goffin to name a few.
pieces include
The Red Shield
Rousseau
Emblem of the Army
The Liberator
Torchbearers
The Wellingtonian
Montreal Citadel

great pieces of music and many with great tuba lines.

His Honor is certainly one of the best. Mark me down for agreeing with Bloke. Is that a first? No. Not really.

When I was in the Marines we had a pouch list w/ many many marches. The list varied from band to band, but they usually had about a hundred different marches we could play on the spur of the moment if necessary. You might want to contact a Marine band and ask them for their "Pouch List"
