Things to consider

Start with Grade 1.5 titles like Cedar Hollow or Cat, Dancing if your ensemble is newer to reading parts; these serve as solid confidence-builders while introducing character and musicality. For performances, order score-and-parts sets together to ensure your full ensemble has matching editions. Woodruff's pieces work well as concert openers or fillers because they're brief and engaging without requiring extensive rehearsal time.
