In A Holiday Smash-Up, an eclectic take on familiar holiday melodies, the woodwinds insist on playing Jingle Bells, while the brass remains resolute about playing O Christmas Tree. The hilarity grows as each frustrated section begins lobbing random decoy Christmas songs into the mix. In the end the brass and the woodwinds both get their holiday wish by finding a way to play the two songs at the same time! Individual parts are consciously written to support student success in the short holiday rehearsal season, while the work itself is a musical holiday joke book, full of surprises and unexpected twists. Liven up your next holiday concert with the humor and joy of A Holiday Smash-Up!.
