Young Concert Band - Grade 3
From one of the landmark musicals of all time, here is an exceptional production number on one the show's best-known tunes. Michael's arrangement is authentically adapted from the original Bernstein score yet playable enough to sound great with most bands.

when you can play percussion but not drum set “this should be easy” Regrettable

From what I've heard, MSBOA Class C/ D are Grades 1 - 2 at Hal Leonard (and subsequently Alfred Publishing and APC), whereas Class B is High 2 - Low 3, A is High 3 - Low 4, and AA is High 4 - 5. So you are right, this arrangement of America would be considered a B to A-Level piece.
Probably grade 4

Definitely! That's a little more difficult for grade 3.
