Does anyone know of any good tuba solos with brass Quintet. We are putting together a show that features each instrument on a tune.
Or even a good idea that doesn't exist, but could be farmed out for arrangement.

The Canadian Brass's "Tuba Tiger Rag" may be a bit of a cliche, but for good reason!

Whatever crowd shows up to a USAF Brass Quintet concert in the midwest...
The concept is to start working in elements of Blast! - so HOPEFULLY a young adult/adult crowd...but probably an adult/not-so-young adult crowd.

There is an arrangement by Stephen Roberts of Teddy Bear’s Picnic that is a tuba solo in quintet. It is a great arrangement but is quite though and best played on an Eb or F.

James Stephenson's concerto for tuba is a fun work:
