Are we talking about marching bands or concert bands here? Or, if there's just one band, in which context?
When I was in high school, our marching band repertoire was fairly narrow, with the expected school songs, a lot of marches, and some arrangements of popular tunes from a few years back.
The concerts had a lot more variety, including arrangements of classical pieces.
When I was in the MIT band, it specialized in original music written for band, which was mostly 20th-century music.
