Fanfare - WIP

I have entered a competition for composing a fanfare and I need feedback on my thing so far.

Any feedback/critique greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

@PBStu

In my country we're not even close to the end of it. Guess that'll take a few years till completely dealt with.

Anyway

It's nice but no more than that.

Here's the best advice that comes to my mind at the moment:

Since, I believe, this one is not made for an elementary school band-
make more variations in rhythm and harmony mainly.

Oh and the Bassoon dynamics should be change because they're pitch dependent. 

Also it's not very common to use the Timpani so frequently because it should be an instrument of great impact at specific moments.

I think you should use Snare and Bass Drum there instead, or at least make fewer Timpani appearances.

Here, you can look at this work of mine as an example to what I see as right for fanfares:
