What is the most exciting piece a good High School Orchestra could perform?

Question

Title, Composer, Arranger and Publisher

Answer 1

Without a doubt - Overture to Candide by Bernstein.  But you better be REALLY good - I have head this done by All-State level groups here in NY - I am a judge.

Answer 2

The arrival of the queen of Sheba is quite good by Handel. Not sure of the arranger or publisher sorry but I'm sure you'd find the copy quite easily!

Answer 3

You can't beat a good rousing performance of Stravinsky's Firebird Suite. Not easy, admittedly, but if you're good, it's worth the effort.

Answer 4

Bohemian Rhapsody - by Queen. Awesome song, combines choir and orchestra, quite long though.
