Assessment Repertoire
This year band choir and orchestra directors submitted selection and classification information online. The primary purpose is that assessment managers can retrieve that information as needed, and not have to type it themselves into a document.
A secondary use is that it is possible for the membership to see the resulting spreadsheet, and sort it by school, classification, title, or composer. We have not previously had the capacity to see what selections other groups across the state are presenting for assessment.
These sheets are linked from the KMEA assessment page within the subsections for Band, Choir, and Orchestra. Look for "Selection and Classification Responses."
