I'll leave these pieces here, so that you can peruse them at your leisure

Sleigh Ride

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwHEqx_3BYE

Other pieces to listen to are: MALAGUENA by Ernesto Lecuaona. This piece is originally scored for piano. Although you can "Google" your own band arrangement of this, I think it would be good for you to listen to these recordings by four different players:

This first person is a very excellent piano player. Notice her interpretations of the music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4Ii-RZDj2c

Then we have this gentleman who just brings out each and every note: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuQQxZ7TXaY

And, then we have this musician who gets into her music very dramatically: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgfgTnCE__8

And, then, yet, we have a exceptional guitarist performing the same piece: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVNss1T3NoY

Then, check out this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJET9cVvzeM (he definitely puts his own touch into the music)

And then their is this one by Liberace: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pn7ImsFM13k

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fucik's March, Florentiner, By the United States President's Own Marine Band:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsb7g_VVqqw

Fucik's March, Florentiner by MNOZIL Brass - This thing is HILARIOUS (You gotta' listen to this):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNdKBdS8bcA

The Phantom of the Opera: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dw1tGyPdsso

I will also add a different arrangement of an orchestral recording for you (just to listen to, not to practice to):
