De Pere Community Band?
Need to check their archives/If they have any?
Other ensembles are mostly universities... should I include them?
High schools/Middle schools?
Do any of them keep records? Will it be easier to get information on collegiate groups that likely have better archives?
Going to stick to universities
Is there a way that it SHOULD develop?
What factors could influence repertoire?
Education for performers
These ensembles are mostly of university groups, meaning that performers in the ensembles are students. Is there a reason that ensemble directors pick repertoire to educate their performers?
Preparation for the professional performing world in a sense of knowing repertoire?
Maybe interview the directors of some of these ensembles? Find their philosophy for repertoire selection, and see if it is represented in their selections
Audience
Do conductors feel the need to conform to audience expectations? Either on what should be performed from classic rep, or what they are and aren't willing to listen to?
What are the audiences for the groups like? Demographics: Age, size of audience, race/ethnicity makeup? Could that impact the repertoire?
How would I find this information?
Diversity in Composers/Styles

Is having repertoire composed by individuals from diverse groups important?
Is drawing attention to this diversity important, or does merely presenting diverse composers help?
Who/What benefits from representation of the diverse groups?
Who/What is disadvantaged when more diverse composers are represented in repertoire?
