PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS

All bands and wind ensembles classified AAAA, AAA, AA, A or B must perform three selections, two of which may be chosen from any source.
The third or required number must be chosen from the Louisiana Prescribed Music List (LMEA), which is available at:
http://www.lmeamusic.org

No group will be allowed to perform more than one number by the same composer.

The following plan will determine the selection of the required number:

The above lists are to be considered as a minimum.  Any group may perform a required number from a higher grade level without changing its classification.

All schools entering in 7, 8 or 9 must choose one selection from any grade on the Louisiana Prescribed Music List.
The other two selections may be chosen from any source.

Second groups (training groups) should be so designated on the entry form (i.e. AAA-Second Group).
They may choose music classified two grades lower on the Louisiana Prescribed Music List.
A third group may perform music classified one grade lower than the second group.
All other concert band classifications must perform three selections chosen from any source.

Wind ensembles will not be permitted to perform the same literature as that performed by the symphonic concert groups in that school year.
