Question to all the parents of musical kids in high school. I am wondering what grade level music your orchestras and bands play, particularly your highest level orchestras and bands (just within your school so not including all-district or all-county or all-state).
In DS' and DD's public high school, the highest level is GT Band and GT Orchestra, which play Grade 5 and Grade 6 level music, which is a huge jump from their middle school classes. Of course, very few freshmen (even including most who are playing less competitive instruments) end up in the GT ensembles.
