Urgent question: I need your help!

This is kind of urgent, so I'll make it brief. For the past few months I have wanted to write a solo for unaccompanied tuba, mainly for my own enjoyment. But, after the question of publication was brought up, I have considered sending a block of my own written solos out for possible review by publishers. Before that, however, I would like to get other players' opinions. So, I was wondering if anyone would like to participate in a little "test group" you might say. It wouldn't cost you anything, just a little bit of your time to play through the solo. Then, I would appreciate it if you could give me some feedback on the quality of the solo, duration problems, how to make it better, etc.. So, if anyone is interested, just e-mail me at tubbyhetubamh@yahoo.com, (yes, I spelled it right,) and just give me your address, and I'll send a copy off. If you decide to be part of this group, I'll greatly appreciate it, and hey, you'll even get an obscure solo to add to the list! By the way, this first solo is tentatively titled "Ghost Dance," is around a grade 5+/6, and is mainly for the CC tuba. It is slightly modern in feel, incorporating some rather excruciating interval leaps and multiphonics. Thanks in advance, Aaron "Tubafatness" Hynds
