HI Connie--in response to band literature that you can play that will
feature everyone, here are some ideas:
Lincolnshire Posey--P. Graninger
Sinfonetta--P. Sparks
Agean Festival Overture--Can't remember the composer off hand:(
Postcards--can't remember composer:(

These are just some ideas that popped into my head, when I figure
out the missing composers, I will send them on....Jen
