The document outlines a concert repertoire consisting of 6 wind ensemble pieces of varying styles, difficulties, and purposes.

The repertoire includes short opener pieces featuring hand bells and a Nutcracker excerpt, traditional and popular Christmas songs, and a triumphant closing piece.

The pieces increase in difficulty from the opening short pieces and Christmas songs to ones presenting more technical challenges and closing with the most advanced piece.
