I don't know what should be selected in the Add Work page for a work for a Concert band (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concert_band).
Works by [[Category:Sousa, John Philip]] are in other genres while they could come in one genre.
For ex.,
[[Boy Scouts of America (Sousa, John Philip)]] - Orchestra
[[The Beau Ideal March (Sousa, John Philip)]] - Other orchestrations (no less than 9 performers)
[[The Belle of Chicago (Sousa, John Philip)]] - Other symphonic pieces
[[The Washington Post (Sousa, John Philip)]] - Piece for wind section
I think a new genre should be added for this genre.
But I don't know what name is best; concert band, wind band, symphonic band, symphonic winds, wind orchestra, wind symphony, wind ensemble, or symphonic wind ensemble....

Don't worry too much about it, as the genres will all be changing soon anyway (see the thread in the "Other" forum).
