Try Arranging for the concert band by Frank Erickson, it's full of great examples on how you should arrange for each individual group, and how you should blend woodwind, brass and percussion together

Bret Newton's band orchestration book is such a fantastic resource - I actually got to do some editing/review work on the chapter(s) about writing for horn (french horn). Really great stuff. If you're looking for some incredible orchestration technique, nearly everything by David Maslanka is a masterclass in orchestration technique for band. His use of color, in both thick and thin scoring, is absolutely incredible.

I love David Maslanka's writing too. His voice and artistry is so unique, and its a tragedy that he passed.

The hard part about orchestrating is that you write on a computer, and you cant tell how it actually sounds in the orchestra you are writing for. It also differs from orchestra to orchestra because some have more of one part and it doesnt balance how you intended for it to when you just hear each instrument at its dynamic marking on your computer. My main point is that it's hard to get each part to specifically play how loud you want it to be if that makes sense. Edit: a great way to learn orchestration through free videos is someone called Ryan Leach on KZbin.

Somewhat true. The technology is getting SO much better. NotePerformer, for example, has been fantastic in creating a much more real rendition without having to edit a ton (the recordings really sound a lot closer to the real deal).
