Take lots of familiar Christmas tunes, mix them all together in a march style and you have Christmas Mash-Up. It is set for the youngest of players using only the first six notes and the most difficult rhythm in the winds is a quarter note. This one is perfect for featuring your band after as little as ten weeks of study and their very first holiday concert. Mash-ups are a pop culture sensation and Christmas Mash-Up will turn your band into exactly that!

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!.
