You're real horn-heavy. A lot of the stuff from "Cowboy Bebop" would be great for y'all if you can find a backup guitarist &/or bassist....which shouldn't be difficult given all the poser HS bands that pop up.
I can't make MIDIs (why would anyone WANT MIDIs anyway?)...but I CAN burn CDs & post them out.

There's a song out there for Symphonic Band called "Star Trek Through the Years".... it's got everything in it, up to Generations.... we played it my ninth grade year, and then again my Sr. year, with the conductore dedicating it to me. Other than that, I don't know what to tell you to play..... you're not quite at the ROn Nelson level yet, are you? Once you are, THEN we'll talk

Well, I just turned in my final list of suggestions for my final semester in band. It's a conglomorate of most of the songs I've ever submitted.
Back to the Future Batman Palladio Duel of the Fates Jurassic Park 'Little' Fugue in G Minor (Bach) John Williams' Olympic Fanfare Sing, Sing, Sing Bach's Sixth Brandenburg Concerto, Third Movement Star Trek 4 Still, Still, Still Terminator This Land (The Lion King) The Trial (Chrono Trigger) 007 '92 Barcelona Olympics Theme '94 Winter Olympics Theme A Whole New World Apollo 13 Battlestar Galactica Dueling Banjos Star Trek: First Contact Star Trek: Generations Star Trek: The Inner Light Suite Star Trek: Through the Years Ghostbusters Raiders' March (Indiana Jones) Mr. Holland's Opus The Simpsons The Final Countdown The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly The Neverending Story Cheers The Last Starfighter Istanbul (TMBG arrangement)
That's enough songs to hold us for the next three years. Maybe she'll use one of them.

Is that the extended Cheers version? The one that takes what is already the best sit-com theme ever, and improves it by adding the great line...
"And your husband wants to be...a girl".
If you're having Chrono Trigger, why not try some of the Final Fantasy pieces? Aeris' theme from FFVII is beautful, and should be really easy to do. There's loads of midi files too.
Oh, and witch Batman theme is that? The "Na na na na" 60s one (funny), the firsty two movie and cartoon Danny Elfman one (brilliant, but bloody hard), or the last two movies one (eh, okay)?
"The Libery Belle", if you want a classic, traditional march that's also the theme to Monty Python. I think everyone knows it already though.
Howsabout John Williams "Olympic Spirit". It's very good, if hard. There's a good medley arrangement out there that has Raiders, the Imperial March, and then The Olympic Spirit. It sounds good.
There's also a really, really good Star Wars arrangement for wind band out there that you could possibly adapt. It's quite hard, but it has the main theme, the rebel theme, Yoda's Theme, The Imperial March, Leia's Theme, and the Throne Room Finale. The segue (however you spell it) from Yoda's theme to the Imperial March is quality.
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Why would you pick the Simpsons? That song isn't even 2 minutes long...

I would certainly agree w/ Liam's suggestion of the MPFC theme. (Un)fortunately, there are enough people in this country who probably don't even know who Monty Python are, that the song wouldn't be very recognizable.

The SW thing wasn't a paino duet. It had some absurdley hard runs for the clarinets and saxes. Quite handily though, if you wanted a short version you could simply start from the Throne Room finale.
There's a few other Olympic marches Williams has done. I think the Olympic Spirit is the one with the cool Trumpet fanfare.
While Tim's right that a lot of American's might not have seen Monty Python, Sousa is the most famous writer of march music ever. Surely the Libery Belle has some fame over there?

I think the Stargate theme would be very good, it has quite a lot of horns and trumpets etc, but you'd probably have to substitute something else in for the violins.

Well, my final semester has started. Out of the 35 or so songs I sugested, she used two! Which is one more than any other senior got.
"Raider's March", from "Raiders of the Lost Ark", and "'Little' Fugue in G Minor", by Bach.
