Bring On the Snow!: Teacher's Handbook & Online PDF/Audio

This variety show packs genuine comedic moments—wisecracking reindeer, a snowflake ballet class, and a game show parody—without sacrificing musicality or ensemble work. The two-part writing keeps singers engaged while the flexible casting means you can feature many voices or streamline to your strongest comedians. At 30 minutes with minimal staging demands, it's substantive enough to anchor a winter concert yet practical enough to rehearse alongside your regular repertoire.

Silly, high-energy, and unapologetically funny. The two-part harmonies provide musical substance while the parade of bad puns, knock-knock jokes, and comedic characters keeps the mood light and playful. Rehearsals and performances feel less like formal concerts and more like a celebration where singers get to laugh at themselves while making their audience do the same.

Elementary and middle school choirs (grades four and up) looking for a full-length, laughter-filled winter program that showcases ensemble singing alongside young comedic talent. Directors seeking a piece with flexible casting that lets them feature many students or condense roles based on available performers will find the reproducible format and multiple scene options ideal.

• Assign the reindeer and game show host roles to singers comfortable with comedic timing and deadpan delivery; rehearse their lines separately from the musical sections to lock in pacing.
• Use the recorded accompaniment during early rehearsals to establish the musical baseline while you work on blocking around the choral formation.
• Stage the skits in the round or on risers so audience sightlines capture both the comedy and the singers' faces; humor lands harder when expressions are visible.
• Keep the two-part voices balanced and clear; the comedy shines brightest when the audience understands every punchline and lyric.

Feature this as your main winter concert event, allowing the musical numbers and comedy to carry the full program without requiring additional opening pieces. Alternatively, use it as the centerpiece of a holiday assembly or school-wide gathering where younger and older students can share the performance and the comedy lands across all age groups.

• Singing in two-part harmony with clear diction and consistent tone
• Performing comedy and character work while maintaining musical accuracy
• Connecting dialogue and music in a theatrical context
• Ensemble awareness and balanced blend across multiple simultaneous scenes and voices
