It depends on the band. I'm assuming the "Concert Band" which is usually the same as the symphony orchestra - two from the oboe family (the oboe and English horn) and two from the bassoon family (the bassoon and the contrabassoon).

Perhaps the most famous spring song for oboe is the Morning Song from Edvard Grieg's Peer Gynt.

Another notable movement from this work is "In the Hall of the Mountain King", which is especially popular around halloween.
always twist the pieces together, never push or you will ruin the cork! first put the bell and lower part of the oboe together, and if you have the low b flat key, make sure the connector pieces are lined up. then twist together the upper part of the oboe to the lower part and make sure the two connector pieces on both the left and right sides of the oboe are lined up properly. soak your reed in either your mouth while you put together your oboe or in water, and then twist/push your reed into the top of the oboe. you can do a little tuning based on how far your reed is pushed in, but most of the tuning is in your embouchure.

What character in Shakespeare played the flute or oboe?
Characters in the plays do not plays oboes (spelled "hautboys" back then) but they were played often by musicians to announce the arrival of a great person. Oboes back then had a harsh braying sound quite unlike the sweet sad sound they have now. Think about the sound of bagpipe chanters, which are double reeds the same as oboes.
Flutes, especially recorders, were another story. Ariel in the Tempest plays one along with a small drum (a "tabor"). The pipe he was playing was a one-handed pipe, so the other hand would be free to beat the drum. Hamlet also probably plays one after the Mousetrap play when he demands that Guildenstern should play for him on the recorder and says "Look you, these are the stops."

Violin would be an easier change from oboe, because trumpets transpose (the note they see and play isn't the note that comes out).
