6-Note Reindeer (Up on the Housetop)—
arr. Joseph Compello. A festive piece for
very young bands who have learned their
first six notes and are familiar with eighth
notes. Based on the well-known Christmas
song Up on the Housetop, this arrangement

adding rhythmic variety. A continuous
sleigh bell part is also included, which can
be shared by different players if needed.
This piece is perfect for a beginning band
performance during the winter holidays.
