As far as repertoire for this combination of instruments, there is a fair amount of stuff out there.

One that immediately comes to mind is Mozart "La Ci Darem La Mano," from the opera Don Giovanni. This is a suite of numerous variations on this familiar theme, and showcases the technical skills of the various instrumentalists in succeeding variations. Some variations are quite demanding; others are very accessible. The nice thing about this piece is that if you have one player who is more advanced than the rest, you can choose the variations that feature that player, while the others play a simple accompanying part.

One of my favorite sites for double-reed related sheet music is http://trevcomusic.com/. What I like about this site is that you can search by instrumentation, by composer or by publisher. If you are looking for well-arranged "fun" things (repertoire that you could use to entertain the general public), do check out the titles offered by Kendor Music and by Musicians Publications. The Kendor titles tend to be on the easier side, while the Musicians Publications things generally expect well-developed musicianship on the part of all players.

You might also check out Jeanne http://www.jeanne-inc.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=SFNT. Lots of music available on this site. Most of it is more "serious".
