Things to consider
Start by identifying your ensemble type and current grade level, then scan the top sellers to see what works for similar groups. If you're programming a mixed holiday concert, you can layer pieces from different grades: pair a grade 1 piece like A Joyful Celebration with a grade 3.5 work like Sleigh Ride to give your players varied challenges. For full orchestra arrangements, check which parts are included (harp is optional in some scores) so you know what instrumentation you can cover.
