Homer Lagassey "Sequoia A Tone Painting"

As a side note, he was the brother of Oscar Lagasse, tuba player of the DSO for many years. Yes, Homer spelled his last name with a Y at the end. His son, Homer Jr. was a well known designer for General Motors.

I don't know if Lincolnshire Posy is about Lincolnshire, but it would be close enough in my opinion.

Some suggestions:
"George Washington Bridge" William Schumann? Eastman recorded it; played it in college. Not bad.
Haydn Wood's big WW1 hit was "Roses of Picardy" - the original band arrangement is available of bandmusicpdf.org; we used it on our WW1 Commemorative concert (with vocal). Very effective actually.
"Willow Echoes" - Willow Grove Park; "Sounds from the Hudson" - "location" oriented cornet solos.

Tulsa, a Symphonic Portrait in Oil was composed by Don Gillis.
The suite has four sections. I have played the final section in a professional band, it is a very good piece.

Not an ensemble piece ...But "Beautiful Colorado"

There is a youtube video of a young lady playing it for a euphonium recital that is quite well done. Definitely worth a watch!
