Highly recommend Japanese Pictures. Available via epurchase. Subbed in JP a few years back when I did a fill in 3 weeks before UIL. Very playable.

I had success with Bach Chorale and March a few years ago with a band like that.

I did Colliding Visions and Japanese Pictures two years when I needed an easy one. I don't remember much about them. Just take a look.

I also bought Sparks back then, so it may be good too.

Those other two are easier than Sparks. Moscow, 1941 would be my other suggestion, but I’d have a hard time stomaching a piece honoring Russian heroism right now.

Maybe give Expectations by Larry Clark a look. It has unison Trumpet parts and only one Horn part that is not very taxing. I believe the low brass line is pretty much unison also.

“Expectations” is a wonderful piece. Highly recommended.
