From the KMEA website:
Changes to the Band Music List:
A Band Music Selection Committee of five members (a chair and four members) appointed by the Band Chair will add other literature to the list. Committee members should be veteran directors whose own performance literature selections represent the ideals set forth in this document. The committee may include a mix of public school and college band directors. This committee will meet at least twice per year to review new publications and evaluate recommendations received for possible addition to the Kentucky Band Music List.
The committee may vote to delete or make corrections to the Basic Music List on the recommendation of committee members or other KMEA members. Out-of-print music will not be deleted solely on that basis because it may be available from other schools or as an Archive Copy from the publisher.
