The North Carolina Bandmasters Association maintains a list for its Music Performance Assessment (MPA) events. The list can be found here. New additions to the list can be found here

From the NC Bandmasters website:

How to Submit a Piece of Music for the MPA Music List:

  1. Obtain a score for the piece you would like to recommend.
  2. Completely fill out the recommendation form. The more information you can provide on the piece the better!
  3. Submit both the score and recommendation form to your 
representative.
  4. The score will be returned to you via your representative by your spring meeting.
  5. Forms and scores may be submitted to your district representative or use the link below to submit electronically. [To submit a work for consideration, use this Google form.]

Important Deadline: Deadline to submit music to be considered at the Fall MPA Meeting is November 1, 2013[sic]. Please note that the committee only adds new pieces in the fall (no deletions or changes of grade level).

The association provides a document that lists grade level descriptors as well as rubrics for music Grades 1-6.

    The rubric for music Grades 1, 2, and 3 can be found here.
