The Band Test Pieces are all prescribed, and were announced on 4th September, 2021.
Please confirm you have the correct arrangement and publisher, to prevent working from a different piece of music with the same title.
Where available, example YouTube links are provided to recordings of these pieces. Please note that these provide interpretations only, and are intended to assist with preparation, rather than illustrating an exemplar.
