Repertoire Differences
Quick Reference: P means "in Celebration Series Print" (and therefore in Syllabus), S means in Syllabus. The absence of P or S for a particular year/repertoire means the song was newly introduced or dropped. Please note that repertoire not listed in this list means their status has not changed from 2008 syllabus.
Additional note: there were some shuffling of repertoire between List B and Etudes with the new syllabus introduction.
