Hi. Im kind of new to Ichigo's, so if I've got something wrong, please let me know.
I'm just looking for some nice music for my band to learn. Music from games, movies, anything is good, I just seem to have a really hard time finding any kind of band music on the internet.
The band consists of:

Clarinets (1-3)
Bass Clarinet (1)
Alto Sax (1-3)
Tenor Sax (1)
Baratone Sax (1)
Trumpet (1)
Flute (1-2)
And Percussion

The numbers next to the instruments are the amount of different parts each instrument can play (e.g. There are enough clarinets to be able to have a clarinet 3 part) Of course, I'm not saying a have to have all those parts, only if it makes it easier for you.

Like I said before, I'm not fussy about what the music comes from (though I do have my eye on the Merry-go-round of life from Howl's Moving castle), but I would appreciate it to have a good bass. (Since I play bass ^.^), and an overall good tune.

Please and Thank you

Thought I should add that I know I should be more specific about anime/game score I want, but I'm not trying to bother anyone with transposing something, rather if they know if any music for a band like mine has been spotted anywhere in this forum

It's probably going to hard to find music that fit your specific band, as it's somewhat of an unusual arrangement (lack of double reeds, in particular, and only trumpets for brass). However, I might be able to arrange some stuff for you if you can get it recorded, and I have time to spare ;) - and the piece doesn't need royalties to be performed/arranged.

Would you like something like this?...

Have you tried G.F. Handel's "Music for the Royal Fireworks"? It already uses most of the instruments that you have (though a much larger force) and you could simply substitute what you have for what's actually in the score until you find what sounds right to you.

You could also try adapting small orchestral pieces. (Eine kleine nacht musick, etc.)

You do realize that this forum is for requesting anime/game music only right?

Am I not requesting Anime/game music?

And to all those who have offered help THANK YOU!
