Ideas that feature sections of the Symphonic Wind band for Kids concerts.

Long winded title I know!
So here is the thing, I'm planning a 45 minute concert for school children to be performed by Symphonic Wind band/Military band.
In one of the items I would like to feature different sections of the band either individual sections or as WW, Brass and Percussion.
The main requirement is that there are at least 3 contrasting extracts that ideally (though not necessarily) feature the instruments in a way that suits them best.
I have done this once before and used the music from Pirates of the Carribbean which worked pretty well. However I would like to do something different this time with something a bit more recent or iconic if possible.
I thought I'd throw this out to the collective wisdom of the group and see what ideas come up.
Thanks in advance,
Hamo.
