My 5th graders absolutely loved this arrangement of Ahsoka (End Credits).  It was their favorite other than You Belong With Me.It would be a challenge piece for a first year band as it has many long tones and sustained passages.  There is a tempo change, dynamic changes and triplet rhythms.  Worth the time and effort as the result was a hit.  FH doubles the AS.  TS and BC double the TBN.  Oboe doubles the FL.
