Hey there, I would also recommend listening to symphonic band pieces and get an idea of the sound that you want. then sit down and come up with a melody or harmonic basis of your piece.

I actually had the privilege of writing a piece for my symphonic piece my senior year. If you ask me how I did it...i would say i don't know...i just sat down and started writing. Sometimes it just takes staring at blank staff paper for an hour before the ideas start flowing
