What are some great big tuba solo pieces (accompanied or unaccompanied) that are out there? I'm looking for something to use for college auditions.
Thanks

Check with the teachers at the colleges where you want to audition or on the studio web sites. Usually they will have a list of what they want to hear, or what they expect you to choose from.
Here's one example:

The Capuzzi and the Lebedev are great for the big tuba.

David Zerkel's CD
Tuba Helper is exclusively contrabass tuba literature. It's a valuable resource in itself.
