Cassie,
Just a quick thought. Torstein Aagard-Nielsen has quite a few works for unaccompanied euphonium that Steve Mead has commissioned. They all are "out-there" pieces, and are quite difficult. I believe that the Four Lyric Pieces were on the Artist-Level Falcone repertoire last year. Here are some of the pieces:
Four Lyric Pieces
Black Rain
Two Insects
The Nordic Sounds webpage for more info and sound clips:

Hickey's webpage for purchase:

I hope this helps you. Playing this new and different repertoire is a great way to challenge yourself. I recently performed the Four Dialogues for Euphonium and Marimba by Samuel Adler, another piece that will stretch you further than you think you can go. Best of luck.
