Band literature refers to the collection of musical compositions specifically written for concert bands or wind ensembles. These pieces are composed or arranged to showcase the diverse instruments in the group, such as brass, woodwinds, and percussion. The repertoire ranges from classic to contemporary music and serves educational, artistic, and performance purposes.

It is essential for developing musicianship, fostering teamwork, and inspiring audiences through a variety of stylistic and expressive qualities.
