I am a somewhat advanced high school tuba player. I am looking for some ideas for solos or audition pieces. I am looking for somethign that will give me a challenge but not be a nightmare either. I know its hard not knowing my exact level. Any ideas?
Also, has anyone ever come across a euphonium solo for the song "Something's Coming" from west side story? Maybe my best bet would be take it from the choral music...who knows

Try Suite for Tuba by Don Haddad, and maybe Introduction and Dance by Barat.

As a portuguese living in Azores - Portugal, I dont understand anything of what "High School" or "College" means in terms of repertoire.
Could you help me rate my "Stratosphere" and "In The Tubateer's Lair" (quartet)?
If you didn't hear them yet please visit

The Gordon Jacob Tuba Suite is superb - a collection of movements from which you can (up to a point) pick and choose.

Sheet Music Service is great and even though their new web site is much improved over the old one, I would still place my order over the phone. BTW, everyone I have ever talked to there was very friendly.
