    Abstract
    The purpose of this study was to examine the patterns of ratings received by concert bands at the Iowa High School Music Association (IHSMA) State Large Group Festival from 2006 through 2014. Specifically, trends related to classification (school size), geography (district assignment), and literature selections were examined. Data used to examine patterns in classification and district were collected from the Iowa High School Music Association. The district assignments designated by the Iowa Bandmasters Association were adopted. It was found that school classification was an indicator of differences in ratings received at the festival. Post hoc comparisons indicated that ratings for Class 1A are significantly lower than Class 2A which are significantly lower than Class 3A and Class 4A. District assignment was also an indicator of differences in ratings. Post hoc comparisons indicated that only the Southwest district had significantly different (lower) ratings than the other five districts. Data used to observe patterns regarding literature selections were collected from band directors at schools where the festival was hosted over the nine-year span of the study. Despite incomplete records of performance literature, certain discernible trends were noted. Compositions with a difficulty level of “Grade 4”, newer pieces, and works by Frank Ticheli tended to receive higher ratings at the festival.
