More about this title
About the Composer: Michael Story
Michael Story is a prolific composer and arranger whose catalog spans concert band, wind ensemble, and educational settings. His compositions are known for their accessibility, engaging melodies, and pedagogically sound orchestration that serve student musicians at all levels.
Why we love this
The trombone feature gives your mid-year concert an excuse to spotlight a section that deserves the spotlight, and the glissandos written into the arrangement give students a genuinely fun effect to execute. Jingle Bells is a tune everyone recognizes, which means your audience stays connected while your band builds confidence playing Grade 1 literature that still sounds polished.
What to expect
Bright and celebratory, with a playful edge thanks to the glissandos that earn genuine audience reactions. The arrangement keeps the holiday spirit straightforward without oversimplifying, letting the familiar tune and clever orchestration do the heavy lifting.
Who it's for
Beginning concert bands and community ensembles looking for winter repertoire that combines recognizable melody with a specific section showcase. The Grade 1 level makes it accessible for young musicians while the trombone feature gives your ensemble members something distinctive to perform.
How to get the most out of it
- Rehearse the trombone section glissandos separately first. Have them practice the slide technique without the full ensemble to build precision and control before layering in the accompaniment.
- Balance the solo line against the accompaniment so the trombone feature projects clearly. Grade 1 doesn't require much dynamic reshaping, but remind the full band to support without overwhelming the feature.
- Lock the rhythmic foundation in the lower voices and percussion. Even a simple arrangement benefits from a rock-solid quarter-note pulse beneath the melodic line.
How to use it
Place this mid-concert as a change of pace from your more serious works. The two-minute duration and trombone spotlight make it an ideal bridging piece between contrasting selections or as a lighter conclusion to a winter concert set.
Skills your students will build
- Executing written glissandos with control and consistency
- Playing a featured solo line with rhythmic accuracy and musical presence
- Supporting a featured section while maintaining ensemble balance
- Reading Grade 1 concert band notation across all parts
