Groovin' Up the Halls (Deck 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!

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas—arr.
Victor Lopez. What a gorgeous holiday ballad! A
solo trumpet eases you into the tune, followed
by lush lines in all the sections. This perennial
favorite is right on the money, with very playable
parts, modest ranges and tasty solos for trumpet
and tenor sax. Highly recommended!

Hot Chocolate (from "The Polar Express")—
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 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!
