Things to consider
Most titles sit in the Grade 1 to 2.5 range, making them ideal for newer bands; if your ensemble is reading solidly at Grade 2.5, you can confidently pull from the full catalog. Many titles appear in both score-and-parts sets and standalone score or part format, so decide upfront if you need everything together or just the conductor score. The Young Jazz Ensemble and First Year Charts series are specifically designed for newer players, so start there if building a program from scratch.
