9/5/08 - Please note that "Courtly Airs and Dances" by Nelson is listed in Grade IV and V. Grade IV requires four of the movements; Grade V requires all of the movements.

Brief explanation of the formatting of the list:
- New additions for this year are bold and italicized.
- Changes and/or additions to existing titles, composers and publishers have been made in BLUE.
- Status: This column lists the out of print, archive and print on demand pieces. Changes and/or additions have been made in BLUE.
- Item Number: This column lists publisher codes for each title. Some publishers do not use item numbers and there is no reference for some of the out of print pieces.
- Year Added: This column denotes the year each title was "originally" added to the list as based on archived lists from Burrage Music in Raleigh.

Printing Instructions: The Festival List is set up to print in Landscape Orientation and will print "Down, then over". In other words, it will print out length-wise the first five columns (Grade, Title, Composer, Publisher, Special Instructions) down to the end of the list and then move over to print the last four columns (Status, Item Number, Year Added, Title). Because of this, I have included the additional Title column at the end of the Festival List for reference purposes. It is approximately 38 pages for the first four columns and 38 pages for the last five columns.

Special thanks goes to Tim Kohring of Burrage Music and Richard Holmes for their hard work in updating the information on the NCBA Festival List. Any questions or concerns about the Festival List should be sent to Bill Pendergrass and they will be forwarded to the appropriate people.
