Altered & Retired Selections
Each year certain sections of the festival music list are reviewed and revised (see the revision schedule here.) The following downloads of affected selections are being provided to assist teachers in updating their library.

Updates & Corrections to the 2019-20 Festival List
While every effort is made to present the WSMA Festival Music List with complete and accurate information, occasionally errors are brought to our attention or clarifications are necessary. The following updates have been been made to the current festival music list since its initial publication and should be honored by all parties involved in WSMA festivals. This list will continue to be added to throughout the festival season.
