About the Author: Andy Beck

Andy Beck

Andy Beck directs choral publications at Alfred Music and has composed and arranged over 450 works for choral and vocal ensembles, with particular strength in children's musicals and educational resources. His pedagogical materials, including Sing at First Sight and Vocalize! 45 Vocal Warm-Ups That Teach Technique, are widely used in schools across the country. Beck holds degrees in music education from Ithaca College and Northwest Missouri State University, and his compositions are performed regularly by choirs worldwide.

He has served as a commissioned composer and guest conductor for honor choirs and all-state ensembles across the Southeast. A tenor himself, he performs with the North Carolina Master Chorale Chamber Choir and has been an Alfred Music studio singer since 1992, bringing practical performance experience to his work as a composer and educator.

Why we love this

Beck's gift for merging contemporary humor with accessible choral writing shines here. The cyberspace storyline gives fourth graders and up something genuinely amusing to sing about and perform, while the unison and 2-part voicing keeps the musical achievable for mixed-ability classrooms without sacrificing energy or charm.

What to expect

Playful and modern, with the energy of a tech-savvy North Pole colliding with the warm chaos of a school computer lab. The music bounces with uplifting momentum, creating a holiday show that feels contemporary without losing the season's genuine spirit.

Who it's for

Upper elementary and middle school choirs looking for a full-length holiday program that balances accessibility with genuine entertainment value. The unison and 2-part writing keeps the vocal demands manageable while the 35-minute runtime and built-in staging allow for a polished, complete concert experience.

How to get the most out of it

  • Work the staging suggestions into your rehearsal schedule early. The physical comedy of a North Pole website crash will land best when singers know their positions and can focus on character and dynamics rather than blocking.
  • Layer in the recorded accompaniment during the final weeks of rehearsal so students hear the full texture before performance. This grounds the ensemble sound and helps younger singers track their parts confidently.
  • Encourage performers to embrace the novelty. The humor works only if singers commit to the premise and let comedic moments breathe rather than rushing through them.

How to use it

Schedule this as your winter concert centerpiece, building the entire program around it rather than pairing it with other major works. At 35 minutes, it carries enough musical and theatrical weight to stand alone and gives your students a clear, achievable performance goal to work toward throughout the fall.

Skills your students will build

  • Singing in unison and 2-part harmony with blend and balance
  • Connecting physical movement and gesture to musical expression
  • Following a multi-movement narrative structure while sustaining vocal focus
  • Responding to comedic timing in musical theatre contexts
