Brass band suggestions?

Anyone know of any good brass band arrangements that would have a solo trio of cornet, euph (or baritone), and tuba? Our director is wanting to show off 3 individuals, and if we can do it with one piece, it would be great.
Thanks

Three solos (cornet, euph/bari, tuba) & band or a trio & band?

I guess I worded that weird. I'm looking for one piece of music that showcases three individuals: cornet, euphonium, and tuba.

I've seen Carnival of Venice performed as a "duel" between two players, with the solo line handed back and forth phrase-by-phrase between the "duelists." The soloists hammed it up, which made it even more fun for the audience.
Seems to me it could be effective as a three-way "duel," with each of the three playing an extended cadenza at some point along the way.
BTW, might be worth posting a query over on TheMouthpiece.com (brass band forum based in UK) if you haven't already.
