I have a great 8th grade horn player that I would like to feature at our spring concert. I need suggestions for pieces that feature a horn soloist with a difficulty of Grade 1.5-2. I know that might be a trick since horns typically aren't featured unless the overall difficulty is more challenging. Any suggestions?

Serenade for Horn and Band is very playable. The horn part does briefly go up to the top of the staff, but I believe there is an octave option on part of it.
Also, The Saint-Saens Romance for Horn can be watered down in the band and the horn part is not as hard as it seems, but harder than what you are asking for.
