Nicely placed slurs! But I must complain about the middle of the third line. You have a Bb tied to a B natural. Wanted a slur? Or a tie and one of the notes is wrong? You do the same thing at the end of the 8th line of music as well, so I'm a little confused. I would assume slur. Also, there are no dynamics! Throw a few in there and give some different senses of character throughout the piece. Also, no breath marks. You could write in a few of your own were you KNOW you want to have a pause, because you have no idea where your tubists are going to decide to pauses and take a breath, even if it's pretty quick. Last thing... in the middle of the 7th line I would have put an Ab instead of G#, it's a little easier to read. I don't really see why it's important to have a sharp there when it is the only sharp in the piece. (Maybe you have a reason for this?)
Well congrats, a very fun little piece! Maybe I'll try to really learn it and add it to my repertoire. It's definitely a fun and quirky little piece.

yup,you are right.I want a slur there.As for dynamics,i prefer the players add in their own dynamics.Very tuba player is unique and diffrent,threfore again is up to the player to decide a sutiable breath mark.It is an augmented 6th chord,so i have no choice but to use a G#.Happy playing
