Things to consider
Start with Grade 1.5 pieces like Cedar Hollow or Cat, Dancing if your group is new to Woodruff's style. Most titles include both conductor score and parts, so you'll have everything needed for rehearsal. If you're planning multiple selections for a concert, Grade 2 works like Ambulations offer a natural step up without jumping to the more demanding Grade 3.5 pieces.
