Whilst I agree with your opinions, Mark and David, regarding the R S-A and
Wright books on brass band scoring, I think that my suggestion is better
than the alternative at present - namely nothing at all, as you both
indicated.  Don was looking for something for someone new to brass band
arranging, and either of these books would give someone an idea of what
scoring for the brass band entails.

Perhaps something comparable to "An Invitation to Band Arranging" by Erik
Leidzen (for wind bands - now out of print) is what is needed?
Any suggestions on who to commission for this task?
