There a a few pieces I am looking at for UIL for my NV bands that have "alternate" parts or "advanced" and the more basic percussion parts. Would judges care which parts I have the students play as long as it is in the score? For example, "Corps of Discovery" has a Percussion 1 and an Advanced Percussion 1. Can I have them play the simpler part? This is just one I am looking at. Acropolis has alternate horn parts that are lower. Could my students do that part instead of the other part? I've never performed any piece for UIL that had alternate parts and I'm curious about the protocols/expectations.
