A band may not play two selections by the same composer in any given evaluation whether or not the music is chosen from the Prescribed Music List (this includes a march). However, this limitation does not apply to arrangers.
Substitution of Other Editions
Substitution of Unlisted Editions for Selections in the PML - Any unabridged edition, INCLUDING ANY UNABRIDGED FLEX EDITION, by a current copyright holder of a selection appearing in the Prescribed Music List may be substituted. UIL Music defines unabridged as containing the same musical content and degree of difficulty from the version appearing in the PML. The director of the performing organization or event shall be responsible for the compliance of any substitute edition. Any unabridged flex edition must be submitted to the UIL state office for approval in advance of the performance. Directors are ALSO encouraged to seek approval from the UIL for any other unabridged substitution in advance of the performance. Approval shall be determined by comparing the version on the PML with the substitution. If a substitution is performed and is determined to be abridged the performing organization or event shall be subject to penalty as stated in C&CR Section 1110(d)(3)(C) and Section 1108(h)(1).
