Things to consider
Grade 1 Very Easy titles (like The Tempest and Star Wars Main Theme) suit ensembles still building foundational skills, while Grade 1.5 pieces add challenge as your band develops. Order conductor scores and complete part sets together so you have what you need for rehearsal and performance in one shipment. If your ensemble has irregular instrumentation, check for flex options within each title before purchasing to ensure all students have playable parts.
