This is just for study purposes while following the movie soundtrack. I plan on doing my own arrangement and would like some basic source material to look at first. It will never get "used" for anything. I think that copies of things for study purposes are okay in some circumstances, and my deadline prohibits me from ordering and waiting for a real score from a publishing house in any case.
Just so you are aware, sending a scan, .pdf etc. of a piece still under copyright without permission from the copyright owner is illegal.
Making an arrangement before gaining permission from the copyright owner is illegal.
What you state above is no where near a "study purpose". It is also would be taking money out of the pockets of the composer, arrangers, publisher, etc.
With all that being said, here is a legal place to download some of the music from the movie:
And Disney is VERY STICKY. You don't want to jeopardize your position for this.
I once lost a church staff music position for refusing to use copied music. I told them I wouldn't do it that it was illegal. The pastor said, "We'll make it legal." Then I was immediately fired. Two weeks later, the pastor was arrested for using copied music--a police officer (who was also a member of the Musicians' Union) did it, not me. He came to church to worship and the copied music made him very uneasy.

You only have one chance to make a first impression. Don't blow it.
We have a Jay Bocook arrangement of "Music From the Incredibles". It's available from JW Pepper and there's also an MP3 clip on their website. It's a killer low brass piece.

Current 'stable'... Rudolf Meinl 5/4, Marzan (by Willson) euph, King 2341, Alphorn, and other strange stuff.
There are actually a few versions of it out there. The one on Pepper's mp3 is a grade 5 or 6 and pretty true to the movie soundtrack (within reason). They also have a grade 2 or 3 that one of the middle school bands that I student-taught played. Yeah, its easier, but it still sounds great. Too bad the high school orchestra I had last semester would have been able to play neither!

P.S. I think they also have a "big band" arrangement.
