Yes, there is.

It's called "Country Band March". It's not two village bands but
rather more like a group of musicians that get together during a
rural community gathering and after a few too many adult beverages,
decide that they should get together and play just like the old
times. The only problem is that they all play something just a bit different.

It's a fun piece to play, but not easy. I played it not long ago with
my local community wind ensemble.
