Hello all!

I have the fortune of being the "musical director" of a high school level concert band, of about 50 members. We've competed in Heritage festival, and received an average score of silver (84 I believe). Right now it's summer break, and I have a few questions.

I'm debating on arranging Prokofiev's 3rd Piano Concerto, into a 7 minute excerpt. Are the various parts feasible to play on standard concert band instruments?

Piano Concerto No.3, Op.26 (Prokofiev, Sergei - IMSLP/Petrucci Music Library: Free Public Domain Sheet Music)

There is the IMSLP listing for the parts. Are these phrases possible for a high school level ensemble? I will be delegating certain phrases amongst instruments to preserve the natural timbral contrast Prokofiev has, so even looking at some of these no matter what instrument you play, would be most appreciated.

Thank you in advance,

Krsyztof
