Well I played Introduction and Dance by J. Edouard Barat my freshman year. It was a fun and somewhat challenging piece. If you're looking for difficult solos that should be easy to get your hands on here's a list of some required for performance majors by Dr. Funderburk at the University of Northern Iowa:

Don Haddad's Suite for Tuba is on there, which is another I played in high school, so a fair amount of them should be in your skill range, which seems to be much better than I was, haha. You should also be able to find recordings of most on Youtube to help you decide.
