Things to consider
Start with the Sound Innovations for Concert Band: Ensemble Development series if you're unsure where to begin. The Grade 0.5 and 1.5 titles work well for first-year students, while Grade 2.5 through 4 titles suit developing ensembles. Since most titles are available as individual part books rather than complete sets, confirm you have all instrument parts needed before ordering, or consider the conductor scores to see full instrumentation.
