Our band has a proliferation of horns (4 in all plus flugel) and so have
resorted to a 'three-layer' approach where our inner circle consists
purely of solo cornets (with the sop seated between these and the horns)
and horns with the flugel sitting opposite the principal cornet.  this
means that these two leading parts can communicate and that the flugel
can work well with the solo horn.
the rest of our line up has baris/euphs leading round from the back row
cornets and joining on to the troms with a third row of purely basses at
the back on their own (best place for them!!!)

just a suggestion,

Mik Barwick (Bletchington Silver Band).
