Things to consider
Start with Grade 2 pieces if your band is in its first year; Grade 2.5 works offer a natural step up once fundamentals are solid. Most popular titles here come as conductor score and parts bundles, which is the most practical format for full ensemble rehearsal. Consider the instrumentation needs in your score set before ordering, as some arrangements use flexible instrumentation to accommodate different school resources.
