There is a piece by Paul Creston that is called something like Celebration Overture, or something like that, that has a repeating rhythm of sixteenths where the second note of each pattern is on the beat. I've never played the work but I've seen the excerpt and it fits your bill. The basic rhythm is:

ta/Tada ta/Tada ta/Tada etc.

Each beat is delineated by the capital letter and the spaces are sixteenth rests. I put the slashes in to separate each beat.

Now, I don't know exactly how fast this piece goes but if it were quick enough, you'd have to double tongue this passage. If it were me, I'd be inclined to tongue this K-T-K, K-T-K, etc. because it lines up nicely that way with the rhythmic structure. Yet another variation on tonguing syllable technique!

For Euphonium, there is a similar rhythm in the Overture to Colas Breugnon(sp?) and that piece does go very fast.
