I think the number of pieces played per concert depends on the ability of the band.
I remember attending the National Youth Brass Bands 50th Anniversary concert and they only played eight pieces all evening!
Tam o'Shanter's Ride, Passacaglia on a Theme by Brahms, Cornet Concerto, Spectrum, French Military March, Pavane, Bluebells of Scotland and Fireworks. They did throw in a couple of additional 'surprises' as well, but that concert lasted well over 2 hours.
For a 'standard' evening concert I suppose we usually play about 8 or 9 pieces each half plus an encore.
