Fanfare on "Deck the Halls"
By Tom Tucker
Using only the first 6 notes of the beginning band method and no rhythmic pattern exceeding eighth notes, this arrangement will make your beginning band sound mature and highly musical on that all important first holiday concert.
Banuwa (An African Noel)
Arr. Jerry Frazier
"Banuwa" is a Liberian folk song most often performed during the holiday season. The music represents quality of life and strong community among the people. The simple, yet lovely, melodic line is playable by beginning bands and make this an excellent choice for the first beginning band concert.
Traditional Angels
arr. Jeffrey T. Parthun, Sr.
Your students and audience will appreciate this reverent treatment of one of the most well-known and powerful Christmas carols, Angels We Have Heard on High. At a grade .75 level, Traditional Angels gives every wind instrument melodic opportunities at an octave or less and the percussion writing is both interesting and appropriate. 
We Three Kings
arr. J. Aaron Stanley
This hauntingly beautiful arrangement by Aaron Stanley evokes the long journey of the wise men as they traveled toward Bethlehem. Offers plenty of opportunity for teaching musicality, balance, and phrasing as students rehearse and perform this exciting rendition of a favorite carol.
