wind ensemble setup

In trying to ascertain if there is a "standard setup" for concert band (military) I've discovered one important fact: there isn't one.

Also - as I've recently been asked to compose an orginal work for concert band I'm having a devil of a time deciding just what size to think about (not wanting to write for a specific group, hence making it more or less difficult when it comes to being played by more than one band).

The brass instruments - also haven't found a single website that will give me the range of the "odd ones" that I don't know (I can cope with horns, trumpets, cornets) any of the other members of the brass section are a puzzle - not to mention they all seem to play from the treble clef (except trombones?).

If anyone can shed any light for me, I'd appreciate it.

thanks

diz, sydney
