What are your go-to pieces or publishers?
What are your must play pieces?
Where do you find your new stuff?
General thoughts on HS Ensemble Literature?

Just looking to expand my horizons and prepare for a few interviews. :)

-Tapspace
-Everything by said publisher
-Said publisher
-Stuff by said publisher is always awesome

:)

Let me rephrase that.  I'm familiar with the Rowloff, Tapspace and drop6 catalogs.

Please continue beyond that.  ;)

C-Alan has some good stuff.  I have been using Nathan Daughtrey quite a bit.  I usually hear my new literature at Midwest or PAS (when I attend).  I wish more literature was written for schools without a 5-octave marimba.  Seems like you have to have a 5-octave to play anything recent.

Any recent pieces or stuff in your catalog that are favorites?

Pieces that I like that are a little older, but still worthwhile:
Afro-Amero, Highlife  - Phil Faini
Stained Glass, Concerto for Percussion - David Gillingham
Prelude and Dance - Ronald LoPresti
Portico, Past Midnight - Tom Gauger
Diabolic Variations - Raymond Helble
Crown of Thorns, Montana Music, Arcadia II - David Maslanka

My last perc ens. Concert had the following:

Middle School JV
El Paso Waltz by Slawson
Melancholia by Caviliere

Middle School Varsity
The Highway by Montoya Jr.
Mercury Rising by Daughtrey

HS advanced
Metric Lips by Fleck
Log Cabin Blues by Green
Octet by Steve Schmidt
Dance of the Tumblers by Rimsky-Korsakov

Thanks guys, I appreciate the recommendations. 
I am looking both to expand my knowledge beyond the ";big 3"; and bolster my knowledge for an interview tomorrow.

My middle school kids recently played

Tango Argentine - By Beth Gotleib and loved it!

Odd Duck by Brian Slawson is one of my new go to pieces. Great piece for teaching odd meter, timbre and texture.

There's also a cool new site a friend of mine has been working hard on for this very topic - finding cool new percussion music! Check it out at:
