Bb at the top of the staff. I think that was as high as we went in the reading session at the Army Conference, if that counts as a performance.

The highest note I've ever been paid to play is the Eb above that.

Nobody has ever asked me to play either the Bydlo or Symphonie Fantastique, which are the only two ensemble works I've even looked at that go higher.

I feel like a cool guy for my answer...

It was (and will be in a few days) Eb above the staff. The orchestra has this John Williams medley that includes a "Jaws" section and the tuba solo part is written out in the tuba part. It's played by the horns and woodwinds, though, but I play it, too.

Last Tuesday, Gb above the staff, playing the Euph part on Ewald but doing it on an F tuba. Several times in the last couple of months, I have done an F above the staff in the 2nd movement of the York Concerto for tuba. Once on an Eb (Willson 3400) and the rest on an F (M-W 182).

On the Ewald, we play the Robert King arrangement without the tuba part with me doing the Euph part on F tuba. We have a choice of either the Euph part or the tuba part and choose the tuba part.

Just performed Bydlo last Saturday...flawless victory!!!

E5 in the Treble Clef.

Gb above middle C. If you were at the Saturday night recital at SEATEC, you heard me do it.

Bb on top of the bass staff, last night. Playing Tersichore (not a very common piece)

I did a 3+ octave c arpeggio ending at e the octave above middle c, on a jazz gig.

A on the top of the staff. Will be playing a piece with the Eb above that later this semester

Most recently g1 in the Collier Jones quintet.

Next week e1 in Carmina Burana.

And I better not see the Bozza on my stand at quintet practice Monday.

The 4th line d in the treble clef on my 186 Miraphone BBb 4u recording bass with my large titanium mpc. We were playing "Blues My Naughty Sweetie Gave to Me" and it was in my break. It's on the CD we recorded during that performance. It was in August - the last time we recorded our band - so it technically doesn't meet the prerequisites established by the OP.

That old Miraphone plays very nicely up there. Also has a nice set of pedals.
