A search might have turned up something--we answered this just a few weeks ago.

There are two standard sources for excerpts for tuba, and a few more minor ones.

The go-to collection for public-domain orchestral trombone and tubas parts comes from Gordon Cherry.

These are in electronic form and you print them out as needed.

Before these were available, the standard collection to own was edited by Abe Torchinsky. Not all of these are still available, unfortunately. You can buy some of them from Encore, http://www.encoremupub.com/Tuba/excerpts.htm, but most you have to find on the resale market. The first four volumes of these offer the same music as the Cherry compilation, but with Torchinsky's annotation, which most believe is worth the price of the book.

The other volumes of that series included many 20th-century composers which are still protected by copyright. The Shostakovich editions are the hardest to find--they were pulled because of a change in copyright treaties.

Here's the whole thread:
