Trumpet (link to the University of Minnesota Marching Band's 2013 homecoming show with a big trumpet feature on the first piece of music that they play, "Scream Machine")
Maynard Ferguson and his band performing "Birdland" (Can you pick out the other instrument sounds in the video as well?)
Horn
Dale Clevenger (who retired as the principal hornist of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in 2013) performing Mozart's 2nd horn concerto (the solo starts about 50 seconds in)
Mellophone
This is the marching band version of the horn (kind of like the sousaphone is the marching band version of a tuba). Listen for it in the following Drum Corps International clip of the Bluecoats performing their 2011 show, "Brave New World." The mellos are the instruments with the melody, and they're in the front of the group doing all sorts of leg choreography. (See if you can find the contras too - that's the other marching version of a tuba, up on your shoulder!)
Trombone
Listen for the piccolo solo that I played for you in class...on trombone!
Euphonium
Adam Frey plays the song "Nessun Dorma" from Puccini's opera Turandot - this was originally a vocal solo, but it sounds beautiful on the euphonium too!
Tuba
This is Carol Jantsch from the Philadelphia Orchestra playing "Flight of the Bumblebee" with some middle school/high school students.
Sousaphone
