My first solo was a Chuck Daellenbach arrangement of "O Isis and Osiris". Played it on a huge BBb tuba. Wasn't too technically challenging, but if I remember correctly, it went up to D above middle C... quite high considering I'd only been playing the tuba for about 6 to 9 months. Nice piece, though... might even consider adding it to a future recital programme.
I've still got the little blue ribbon with the gold-coloured medal on it... somewhere.
