After weeks of waiting, it's finally time to open those holiday gifts. As the kids gleefully tear into their presents, wrapping paper, ribbons, tags, and bags go flying---it's a gift wrap riot! This rockin' hand jive is a total blast. The vocal parts pretty much teach themselves, so there's plenty of time to add the familiar hand motions or learn Andy's full choreography (printed in the score and available as a free ChoreoTrax video online). If holiday novelty numbers have become a tradition at your school, you won't want to miss this one!

The familiar melody is jazzed up for a featured soloist (or an entire section) and punctuated by lightning quick interjections in tight treble harmony.

That marvelous moment when two previously sung melodies first fit together is an important milestone for developing groups. And there's nothing like a well-crafted partner song arrangement to take you there. Over the years, George Strid and Mary Donnelly have set the standard for quality partner songs, and this treatment of the well-known Mexican folk tune is no exception. Sing both lines in English or teach Spanish words using the included pronunciation guide. Seriously, if you want to take steps toward harmony, follow the magic formula: A, then B, then together. ¡Ay, ay, ay, ay!
