College Audition Repertoire
This topic comes up regularly on the Euphonium-Tuba Forum and in many other venues: what should I play for a college euphonium audition? A complete list of possibilities would be very, very long, but in this post I will suggest titles that often appear on lists and that I often hear in auditions.
Each piece below would be appropriate for a college-level audition. Many would also work well for the prepared portion of a service band audition.Each has a link to purchase it at Sheet Music Plus, one of the Internet's oldest and most respected retailers.
