While many get excited at the holidays, some people just can't turn that frown upside down. In this spirit comes a fun swing arrangement of Jingle Bells, written in a blues style. Your students will enjoy the laid back swing figures and the catchy melodic adaptations depicting the fun (maybe just a little??) it is to ride on a one-horse open sleigh. A 'downer' ending takes the blues to a whole new level — sure to be the highlight (and lowlight!) of your next winter program!
