From the KSHSAA website:
The Kansas State High School Activities Association (KSHSAA) as recommended by the Kansas Music Educators Association (KMEA) has adopted a Published Music List for KSHSAA State Music Festivals — Large Groups. Kansas band directors, at all educational levels, have a common goal of providing band students with a quality music education through performance. Providing band students with a quality music education through performance requires the selection of quality music for rehearsal and performance. Band music is diverse in difficulty level, style, and quality. However, 'quality' is not necessarily determined by difficulty level or style. During the last several years, a number of outstanding music educators and music organizations have studied the band repertoire and have suggested characteristics common to quality band music. These characteristics include band compositions that are interesting, stimulate the imagination, reflect craft, require reflection and study, and provide opportunities for the enhancement of student musicianship. It is the purpose of the Published Music List to provide challenging examples of such literature that are appropriate for all classifications of ensembles.
