If you are looking for arrangements done in a Dixie style, then our
old listmate Eric Holroyd produced a CD of a number of arrangements
for trumpet, clarinet, trombone, banjo, tuba and drums. There is
some more info here

I have a copy of the CD and the charts are great as pointers
for a band starting out. They provide a good foundation for the
"in & out" chorus then leave you to invent solos for the rest.

I'm not sure how active Eric is, he had heart problems last year
and I don't remember hearing anything about him recently, but
I'm sure the Aussie contingent will let us know.

Hope that helps
