UIL Suggestions

Posted by TPT82 on 9/29/2024, 7:07 pm

Hi everyone!
I'm looking for a ballad for UIL Contest that features a trumpet solo (if any). I'm preferably looking for a grade 3 or easier grade 4. Suggestions appreciated. All sections in my band are pretty healthy, so any suggestions within those grade parameters should work. Thanks in advance to everyone!

Prospect by LaPlante is a wonderful Grade 3 with a nice lyrical trumpet solo.

O Magnum Mysterium is a 4, but not necessarily an "easy" 4.

Encanto has a nice little trumpet solo in the slow section.

Wasn't Encanto taken off the list now thirty years ago?

...not nearly 30 years ago...more like 10. But it is off the list.

We're both wrong. It's 17 years ago.

Per BrynnPark, it has only five plays at UIL since 2006-2007. One of those was the year after it went off the list - maybe the director of that school missed it and got a variance for a year.

But .. seventeen going on eighteen years ago. It was pulled off the PML before nearly every kid in every program in Texas was born.
