dc.description.abstractThe main purpose of this study was to investigate a possible correlation between high school band directors’ familiarity with selected marches and their perceptions of quality of the selected works. Band directors who chose to participate in this study (N = 288) were asked to indicate their familiarity with and perceptions of six selected marches using a Likert-type scale. In conjunction with a quantitative assessment, participants were also asked to report the criteria they consider when selecting marches for their program. Using Pearson’s Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient as an analytic method, the researcher was able to determine that there was a moderate positive correlation between the two variables. Additionally, the researcher was able to determine through Consensual Qualitative Research (CQR) that while familiarity with the work or composer and the quality of the composition were considered in the selection process, the priority for most participants was suitability and educational value.en_US
