Things to consider
Grade 3 means your ensemble should have solid reading skills and some experience with jazz articulation and phrasing, but the charts won't demand advanced improvisation or complex rhythmic sections. Order both conductor score and parts together: the score is essential for rehearsal, and parts ensure every player has their own copy for sectionals and performances. Digital downloads let you print as many parts as needed for your group size.
