Ok just to be clear, what all can be submitted other than piano music?

[Winter]

Well, the way things are set up right now, just classical orchestras. At a later time, we may have options for more typed of groups (String Quartets...) You know. But right now, a simple Concert band, piano, and piano duets are all we accept.

[Olimar12345]

Ok, so Orchestral pieces and concert band pieces only?

also, what happened to "Winterkid09"?

[Winter]

Yeah.

I changed it.

I'm going to need a bit more details than this.

I'm going to need a bit more details than this.

I am too. What exactly qualifies as a classical orchestra? I can only assume that it would be the orchestration for Beethoven's Ninth, since that is the make-up of a basic orchestra these days. Plus a tuba and an extra wind or too, and more percussion as well.

[Winter]

You know, I haven't even figured this out myself. If you consider it orchestral, go ahead and submit it, what really matters is whether each instrument is playable.

If need be, we will separate arrangements more specifically at a later time.

[Shadoninja]

we as a community probably should have discussed this in greater detail rather than suddenly implementing it.

[MaestroUGC]

This is how I see the breakdowns happening:

Symphonic Orchestra: The largest orchestration group that really has no limits to the instrumention in my opinion, but will need to at least include: Strings, Winds, Brass, and Percussion.

Chamber Orchestra: At its most basic, a string orchestra with winds and a few other instruments.

Concert Band: Typical make-up of a standard concert/symphonic wind orchestra

Marching Band: Typical make-up of a standard marching band.

String Orchestra: Self-explanitory.

Ensemble: Any collection of instruments that doesn't fit any of the above.

Chamber Ensemble: Duets, Trios, Quartets, etc. Mainly a collection of soloists.

I'd be willing to create an actual guideline for instrument breakdown for each of these, if you want. We can incorporate these as they come.

[Ruto]

Thanks for your hard work, WK!

Be sure to be as specific as possible. An instrument list would probably work best.

Cirno wants me to post, so:
