Please find a list of selected ensembles following. This list is by no means comprehensive. It is merely a listing of some better-known ensembles. For a more comprehensive list, a good source to consult is the UIL (University Interscholastic League) Prescribed Music List published by The University of Texas. Following is a list of music vendors, though this list is not comprehensive, either. Please feel free to contact me for further suggestions or information regarding ensemble music selection. Best Wishes!
