Sight Reading Techniques

I'm a new player with the community band. When I played only the melody in my living room, it was easy to become competent playing one tune at a time. I knew the melody and could concentrate on just that tune. Now, playing the third part, sometimes on tunes I am not famillure with, I do a lot of sight reading. We may play ten different tunes one practice and have five more introduced the next week, so to practice each one untill I know it from memory is impractical. It is also somewhat difficult to play third without the rest of the band.

I find the music going by faster than I can read it. Not the quarter notes but some eight and sixteenth runs are just beyond me. Is there a technique by which I can to learn to read faster? Would a speed reading course help?
