Looking for ideas for a short encore piece for tuba and band. Could be for TUBAS and band (2-4 solo players). Any thoughts are welcome. Needs to be on the short side. Thanks!

always an option....was really looking for something different and with the possibility of including a couple of my students (I will just have played a 20 minute concerto)...

How about Bugler's Holiday?

Make it for tubas and do Tiptoe Through the Tubas arranged by Jerry Brubaker. Nice tasty arrangement that is fun for the players and audience!!
ScottM (who just played it at the ACB conference with Marty Erickson and the tuba sections of the two conference bands. Jerry was in the audience. great fun)

I heard an AWESOME arrangement of Overture to Ruslan and Ludmila. That would be great.

A couple of years ago our Kauai Community College Band, featuring tuba students from Kauai's High Schools, did
Tuba Tiger Rag which went over well for all. Here's the Youtube link: http://www.youtube.com/user/TubaTom2#p/u/17/p3i2jv88ESM" target="_blank.
