There are 3 trumpets/flute x 5 flutes = <<3*5=15>>15 trumpet players

There are 15 players - 8 players = <<15-8=7>>7 trombone players

There are 7 players + 11 players = <<7+11=18>>18 drummers.

There are 2 clarinets/flute x 5 flutes = 10 clarinet players

There are 7 players + 3 players = <<7+3=10>>10 French horn players

In total 5 players + 15 players + 7 players + 18 players + 10 players + 10 players = <<5+15+7+18+10+10=65>>65 seats needed.

There are eight fewer trombone players than trumpeters, and eleven more drummers than trombone players. There are twice as many members that play the clarinet as members that play the flute. Three more members play the French horn than play the trombone. How many seats are needed on the bus?
