I am a junior in high school and I recently found out that I auditioned into an orchestra camp for the summer. They have a concerto competition and I am on the hunt for a solo manageable on C tuba that has an orchestra accompaniment.
I am performing at a pretty high level for my age and need something learnable in around a month and a half. It has to have a pretty readily available orchestra part as well while not sitting above the staff for too too long (I will be able to work some super Es out ).
My current top (and really only) choice is the Gregson although I am very much open to other options (treble clef included).

Gregson is a good choice. Lebedev Concerto in One Movement also lies well on CC.
