I guess I'll have to second that opinion (Great high school-level solo.), since I played 'His Majesty..." for my Senior High solo in 1960. I played it on a Conn 3valve short stroke sousaphone (the # escapes me at the moment). Elicited many comments of the sort: "My God, I didn't know you could actually play MUSIC on a sousaphone!" I still pull it out and remind myself from time to time. It's not too difficult, but it can be played quite musically, IMHO. Just don't get carried away with rubato in the cadenza ;).
