Hmm, yes, I had to make the midi a "type 0" whatever the hell that is. Otherwise, it added in some horrible dissonant marimba sound or something, which clearly isn't in the piece.

By the way, here is the updated midi. I will do a score to follow tomorrow.

Further note, to those not familiar with brass bands, transpositions are as follows:
Soprano cornet in E flat - sounds a m3rd higher than written.
Bb cornet, Bb flugel horn - sounds a M2nd lower than written (as Bb trumpet).
Horns in Eb - sound a M6th lower than written. (like a French horn in F, a tone lower).
Baritones, Tenor trombs and Euphoniums in Bb - sound a M9th lower than written.
Bass trombone - at concert pitch (ditto percussion...minus the obvious octave transp. of glock and xylo).
Eb bass (tuba) - sounds octave and a M6th below written.
Bb bass (tuba) - sounds octave and a M9th below written.
