I've never heard of one, but I've never seriously searched. One difference between orchestral lit and band music is that, except for very early band pieces, many of them orchestra transcriptions, there's relatively much less band music that's out of copyright and in the public domain. So much band music has been composed since the 1950s, when the band movement in American schools became a major stimulus, that much (certainly not all) of the major modern band repertoire is still protected and can't be included in an excerpt collection. The ones that are available for orchestra contain a lot of 18th, 19th and early 20th century music that is no longer protected.
There is a website, http://www.bandmusicpdf.org/ (Band Music PDF Library, that has a lot of very old public domain band music in complete form - scores and parts. Most of it is not well known or often (if ever) played any more, but I did download a complete set of the Holst Suite #1 in Eb a couple of weeks ago.

At one time Chappel (and I believe others also) used to publish bound volumes containing the solo clarinet parts to many military band pieces, full part not just excerpts. Most I recall seemed to be of orchestral transcriptions, wonderful practise for aspiring solo clarinet players.
Have not come across any "modern" equivalent to these but they may exist somewhere.

At one time Carl Fischer published a two-volume set of band excerpts for clarinet called "The Bandman's Clarinet Repertoire.
It was published in 1962. The Carl Fischer number is #O 4270 (Volume 2 was #O 4271)
It is now out of print, but check auction sites, college libraries, etc... for possible used copies.
There is a copy in the ICA library:

The Fischer volumes were called the Bandsman's Folios and contained the 1st Clarinet parts of everything Fischer published, mostly band transcriptions of popular orchestral music -- e.g., Oberon Overture, Eureanthe Overture, Simeramide Overture, Morning, Noon and Night in Vienna.
There were originally 5 volumes, which went out of print in the 50s. Selections were later published in 2 volumes. I own 4 of the original 5 volumes.
They're great sight-reading practice.

I have three volumes. Try Hungarian Rhapsody for a good technical workout.
