quintet literature

I realize I am dominating the board here by posting several questions at once, but you see we had an inservice day at the middle school today and I got home unusually early. So I am seeking advice on quintet literature. I am trying to start a quintet in my tiny town of Knoxville Tn, and don't know much good literature. Where should we start?

A good starting place might be the old standard "Twenty Two Woodwind Quintets" (compiled and revised by Andraud) - published by Southern Music Company (#B-208).

The parts are about $15 each. Most of the quintets in the book are on the intermediate level ...GBK

A good place to look as well is in the ICA collection. It could give you ideas, or you could check them out. You have to be an ICA member to get scores, though.
Check out this site:

There is an ensemble index you can look at what music we have.
