Any recommendations for medium difficulty ( no easy or beginning band level) country or western genre music for community band?

Thank you. We played Tennessee Salute last spring. It was a fun number. Anyone others come to mind to anyone? Our music director asked if I could find something in the country genre for our rural Northern California audience.

When we did this one, our tympani player played a washboard solo on Rocky Top.
EyeDoc, you're a bass trombone player, right? No third trombone part on this one.

Here is another.

After this my limited memory is totally exhausted.

"All Aboard"

Trombone feature based on "This Train Is Bound For Glory".

Snippets of other Railroad tunes are buried in the piece as well.

This actually requires a good second trombone.

Thanks JohnL for remembering. I am working on the bass sound.  If all goes well, and the fires calm down, I will join the trombone Christmas on the 16th on bass 1. As the bass in our community band, I have been pushing for Action Brass y Sadler. Our main director is a tuba player so I may have success 😁
The All Aboard sounds fun for the section and the audience.
