I would write a piece for all of our main instruments. (Piano, saxophone, trumpet, clarinet, bass clarinet, euphonium, etc.) I want it to be a cityscape of a sort. Jazzy street music, car horns key tapping for walking, maybe some wind at a point. It would span a whole day (Not last a day) going from morning to night. I think I would call it City Day. I am very good at creating original names like that. It would me maybe 3 minutes long, one minute for each time of day. It will start of quiet, and slowly build to a busy morning. Bass clarinet an euphonium could be a boat horn that gets louder. Trumpet could be the street music. Piano could be birdsong in the morning. Clarinet could also do birds or help with jazz or car horns. Saxophone could be car horns or jazz. At night, there would be more car horns for rush hour. These are my basic ideas. The caveman composer was to show the basic technology. The rock can only play one note. The tuba thing doesn't seem to have valves, so it probably only has one note. Also, the cavemen are considered to be the loud grunting type, so the big not is probably played loudly.
I think that's all.

Awesome, a great start! It's nice that you have a clear idea of what you want to write about, and I can see how you're already starting to think about what the instruments will do and how the piece will progress (form) within the context of your source of inspiration. I'm looking forward to playing and hearing your piece! Haha, the farside comic wasn't supposed to be serious, it was just something I tacked on at the end of the sheet for fun :)
