Groovin' Up the Halls—arr. David Samuel.
The holidays never had it so good! The classic
carol Deck the Halls has been turned into a funky,
rhythmic piece that will definitely be a crowd
pleaser. There is a terrific winds-only section after
the short solo section, and it all comes together
with a great ending. Solos for tenor and trombone
are included. Be sure to catch the Auld Lang Syne
quote in the solo backgrounds!

H Hot Chocolate—Alan Silvestri/arr. Mike Lewis.
From the movie "The Polar Express," Hot
Chocolate is hot stuff! A fun swinger in a jump
style, it's loaded with energy, based on the
original recording and has been skillfully adapted
for the young player. There are no solos, the
ranges are modest and a driving bass line makes
it move along. To make this chart flexible for all
year, the arranger offers two endings: one with a
clever and effective modulation to a Jingle Bells
quote and one without. Highly recommended!
