It seems to me that what you have here is a German band. There are many
commercial arrangements for such a group, but it will work a lot better
if you can get a trombone, and maybe even a euphonium and a drummer or two.
This can be a very enjoyable group for an audience. Almost any
reasonably good music store should be able to find collections of pieces
for this type of group.
