Things to consider
Start by matching difficulty to your ensemble's current abilities, then use higher-graded titles as progression goals. Each arrangement includes the full score and parts you'll need to run a rehearsal, so you won't need to source materials separately. If your group performs at festivals, check the program requirements first, as some festivals favor specific grade ranges or styles.
