More about this title
About the Arranger: Mike Story
Mike Story has built a reputation for crafting accessible arrangements that don't sacrifice musicality for ease of execution. His work across multiple ensembles and levels demonstrates a clear understanding of what student musicians can accomplish when given well-written parts and smart orchestration.
Story's arrangements for the Big & Easy series have become standard repertoire in many programs, valued for their straightforward approach to popular material. He consistently writes with the full band's balance in mind, ensuring that every section has something meaningful to play.
Why we love this
A Grade 2 arrangement of this beloved holiday track gives your band an instant crowd-pleaser without the technical demands that pull focus from performance polish. The scoring sits right in the sweet spot where every player can contribute confidently, meaning your rehearsal time goes toward musicianship and ensemble blend rather than deciphering difficult passages.
What to expect
Bright, energetic, and unmistakably festive. This arrangement captures the infectious pop sensibility of the original while translating it into full marching band sound; the result is instantly recognizable and genuinely enjoyable to listen to, whether you're hearing it from the stands or down the sideline.
Who it's for
Programs building their holiday rotation with material that's genuinely fun to play and teach. Marching bands at all ability levels will find this accessible, making it a solid choice for late-season performances when you need something that lands well without extensive preparation.
How to get the most out of it
- Keep the groove relaxed and conversational in your rehearsals; this arrangement thrives when the band plays with ease rather than tension.
- Balance the melodic voices clearly so the familiar tune cuts through without any section overshadowing the others.
- The rhythmic drive needs consistency from your front ensemble, so lock that in early and let it anchor the whole sound.
- Consider the performance context; what works for a football stadium halftime show might need slightly different dynamics and spacing than a holiday parade.
How to use it
Drop this into your December concert rotation, a holiday parade appearance, or a pep band performance at a winter athletic event. Its Grade 2 level means you can program it earlier in the season without worrying about stretching inexperienced players, giving your ensemble confidence-building wins before more demanding material.
Skills your students will build
- Maintaining steady tempo and groove in a pop idiom
- Balance between melody and accompaniment voices
- Articulation clarity at moderate tempos
- Ensemble cohesion with a rhythmically driven arrangement
