The Anthems and Occasions arrangements are designed to be used from four players upwards. Apart from the melody and bass, to which the allocation of parts is obvious, the 2nd and 3rd comet, solo and 1st horn adhere to the alto part; similarly the 2nd horn and 1st baritone to the tenor part (Lest this should appear to leave the tenor line weak, it should be noted that in the main this is strengthened by baritone and tenor trombone in such a way as to ensure the balance of alto and tenor lines with a normal complement). The euphonium is independent but usually doubles either the melody or the bass.

It will be seen that the correct choice of instruments, e.g. solo cornet, 1st and 2nd horn, Eb. bass will provide a four - part balance. Apart from plain utility, imaginative conductors will realise the potentiality of contrasted groups which will rest sections of the band in longer items and also provide changes of tone colour.
