Can anybody recomend a "good" arrangement (if there is such a thing) of Elgar's P&C for an intermediate level brass quintet? My HS band is only 8 students this year with 3 of them (lead trumpet, only trombone, & lead flute) seniors and my JH band isn't any bigger but with a much lower playing level due to a rough couple of years before I got there so I've obtained permission from the powers that be to bring in a quintet to play the processional/recessional music for commencemt this spring and to help supplement my combined band on their one "special" song but I don't have P&C in my quintet library so thought I'd check with you who are often smarter than I for your suggestions I'm also looking for suggestions of good recessional music such as March of the Nobles or similar. Thanks for the help.

Just went through and re-read my post, March of the Nobles, my mistake I meant Procession of the Nobles as a possible recessional. Thanks again.

Don't forget when you order the music that there are actually 5 or 6 Pomp and Circumstance marches. I believe the one you want is No. 1.

There is a good arrangement of Procession of the Nobles by Mike Forbes. The difficulty level is high though.

I'm assuming from your post, that your school will have a small graduating class. Otherwise, asking a brass quintet to play Pomp & Circumstance while a 1,000 students pick up there diplomas would be ...

If you have an organ in the room Jim Curnow has a good arrangement for Procewssion of the Nobles for organ and quintet.
