Make sure that the selected piece is from the current NYSSMA manual. Accept the recommendation of the music teacher or the private instructor with regard to choosing a solo piece.

Learning one solo a year, strictly for the NYSSMA competition, will not produce a well-developed musician. It is recommended that the music student is constantly learning the standard literature for the instrument. The student's real level of ability should determine which piece (or level) is selected, not the level passed the prior year. It is not necessary, or even recommended, to progress at a rate of one level a year.
