One of the comments a few weeks ago on my Band piece was about slowing down then tempo of the euphonium solo at the beginning of the piece, as well as creating a arrival point at the end of some crescendos that, seemingly go no where.

What i did about this was essentially follow those suggestions quite strictly. I did slow down the euphonium solo at the beginning to 80, where as before it was 100. This end up giving the solo much more weight, and underlying tension. In regards to the crescendos, I did at a down beat in the percussion as a arrival point for the crescendos.
