Teaching a Large Trumpet Ensemble

[blasticore]

So, I'm going to be the music director for a trumpet ensemble of roughly 15-35 students (mostly high school age, with the odd middle schooler in there somewhere). I've pulled a bunch of literature, but most of the stuff I had available was 4-6 parts. Is there anything out there that might work for this large an ensemble?

I have transcribed a few things for trumpet ensemble, mostly trios and quartets, nothing for an ensemble as big as you need. Still, they are free, so you might as well take a look at them.They can be found here:

The largest ensemble on that page (for eight trumpets) is at the bottom.

I also have some Xmas trumpet quartets posted:

Most of them are not that great, but they are free!

Got a friend who lists a couple for nine trumpets.

The composer, Ray Burkhart is a trumpet player and his stuff is great.

Go to Triplo Press. My college teacher is the man and has lots of great pieces listed on his site.
