Alabama Bandmasters Proposed Legislation 2016-1 Submitted by Clay Sloan
Article XVI, Section 2-1 Eliminate the final two sentences that state:
“A band may be allowed to drop a maximum of two classifications and shall have to climb one classification per year until reaching its regular classification. Requests to reclassify should be the exception to the rule.”
Add the following:
Any band that has not received an overall rating of superior in the previous two years
of Music Performance Assessment may perform in any classification the director chooses. (High School bands must remain in the High School classifications). Upon receiving an overall rating of superior in a lower classification, a band will be required to climb one classification until reaching the classification that is dictated by school enrollment.

Alabama Bandmasters Proposed Legislation 2016-3 Submitted by Dr. Mark Foster
By-laws currently read: Article XVI Section 7. State Solo and Ensemble Festival j. No “approved lists” shall be required. NAFME’s “Ensemble Music for Wind and Percussion Instruments” and the University of Texas “Prescribed Music” catalogues may be helpful in selecting material. It shall be the responsibility of each director to guide his performers so that they make wise choices of literature. Adjudicators will have the right to lower ratings for poor choices.
Change this to read: j. All performance music for all events except for jazz ensemble events must be selected from the ABA Solo and Ensemble Suggested Music List. It shall be the responsibility of each director to guide her/his performers to make wise choices of literature. Adjudicators have the right to lower ratings for poor choices of literature.
It is the intent of the author of this legislation that it take effect during the school year 2016-2017.
