looking for song to feature select students

Tuba, flute and/or baritone. Either solo or section

Just one or all three.

Small 1C Junior high group that rarely tackles anything harder than PML grade 1

I'm open to any and all suggestions please.

I THINK I remember a solo with band tune titled Starscape by Osterling. Pretty little jazz ballad melody playable by any instrument. Solo kids think they are rock stars ~

In a Gentle Rain - lyrical piece with easy accompaniment parts and a flex part for the feature. We did it with euphonium a few years ago.

This may be a stretch piece, but there's a Ralph Ford arrangement of Wizard of Oz that has four movements. I've done it with our 1C Middle school group several times when I was the JH director. If I only had a brain can feature tuba if I remember correctly, and there's some nice flute moments. I can't remember baritone parts on it. The nice thing is it is four short movements, so you can always do less than the four!

Over the rainbow was one of my favorites to do with the 8th grade parents.
