What are some good pieces to get back into trombone with?

As the title says, I'm looking for some pieces to learn since I want to get back into trombone, it's been a while since I've picked it up and I've been craving the low brass (I'm primarily a High horn player)

Kinda a tough question to answer without knowing your approximate range, proficiency, and stylistic preferences.

the highest I'd say I can comfortably play is F4 and I don't have any issues with low range. And I'd say I'm somewhere around mid to late highschool level, style I don't care too much about but prefer more lyrical pieces

Annie Laurie by Arthur Pryor. There's an arrangement by Glenn P Smith which is readily available and a pretty classic solo piece for high school trombonists. Besides that maybe some fun orchestral excerpts like Ride of the Valkyries.
