Things to consider
Holst's orchestral works like The Planets demand mature ensembles and typically require full instrumentation, while his concert band and choral arrangements scale down effectively for younger or smaller groups. Check grade level carefully: Grade 1 band arrangements make Holst accessible to first-year ensembles, but full orchestra scores require more advanced musicians. Conductor scores include parts information, so verify
