This march contains what I consider to be a perfect example of the use of euphonium. It is lightly scored behind a singing solo right in the "money" range of the horn. Also, it's nice!
Here are the words that accompany the solo:
Oh! Farewell to you, my Nancy,
ten thousand times adieu,
I'm bound to cross the ocean girl,
once more to part from you;
Once more to part from you, fine girl!
You're the girl that I adore,
But still I live in hopes to see,
ol' Swansea Town once more
Here is an example from YouTube featuring a choir:
