Selecting Music
You will be asked to find three (3) pieces of music that fit your theme. There are a lot of places you can go to find band music. Below are some links to those places. Sometimes the publisher websites do not have recordings of the piece on their website. In those instances you may be able to find a recording on YouTube. Please use YouTube LAST. We would prefer the publishers recording over a YouTube recording.
