One moment…

A medley of everyone's favorite holiday tunes is the perfect way to end the beginning band's winter concert. Winter Medley combines traditional tunes found in most beginning band method books, embellishing them with interesting voicing, and little soli sections, giving each instrument their turn to shine brightly. Using only six tones, the solid scoring will ensure that your beginning band will impress their audience, making even the youngest band sound advanced beyond their years. This will be a timely favorite your beginning students can use year after year. (2:15)

More about this title

Why we love this

Larry Henry has crafted an arrangement that respects where beginning bands actually are musically while refusing to talk down to them. The voicing choices and individual soli sections give every student a moment of genuine musicianship, not just note-reading. Your audience will hear a polished, confident band instead of a group struggling through simplified charts.

What to expect

Warm and approachable, with just enough harmonic color to feel special without sounding busy. The medley unfolds naturally, giving the impression of a carefully shaped program rather than a patchwork of tunes stitched together.

Who it's for

Beginning band directors who want their students to experience genuine performance success at a winter concert without oversimplifying the repertoire. This works for groups in their first or second year of study who have solid fundamentals but limited technical range.

How to get the most out of it

Balance the soli sections carefully so featured instruments project without overwhelming the harmonic foundation. Beginning players often play too loudly when they get their moment.
Use the six-tone limitation to your advantage by drilling unison passages until they lock. Clean attacks and releases matter more here than complex technical demands.
Shape the medley's arc by thinking of it as three distinct movements rather than a collection of tunes. Let energy drop slightly between meditations and build into the final statement.
Give each section rehearsal time with their soli parts isolated. Players need confidence that they can manage the passage before playing it in full ensemble.

How to use it

Position this near the end of your winter concert as a crowd-pleasing closer that celebrates your beginning band's growth. It works equally well as a season-opening piece in December or a January concert finale, and the two-minute-fifteen-second duration fits naturally between more substantial works.
