This song was written in 1913 by A. F. Frankenstein and F. B. Silverwood. It was the official song of the expositions held in San Francisco and San Diego in 1915. In 1951 the State Legislature passed a resolution designating it as the California State Song and in 1987 it became the official State Song, although it is not well known. This is an arrangement of the song for brass quintet.

"Jingle Bells" is one of the best-known and commonly sung American songs in the world. It was written by James Lord Pierpont (1822?1893) and published under the title "One Horse Open Sleigh" in the autumn of 1857. It has been claimed that it was originally written to be sung by a Sunday school choir; however, historians dispute this, stating that it was much too "racy" (and secular) to be sung by a children's church choir in the days it was written. Although not originally intended on having any connection to Christmas, it became associated with Christmas music and the holiday season in general decades after it was first performed on Washington Street in Boston in 1857. This jazz-swing arrangement for brass quintet includes the following parts: Bb Trumpet 1, Bb Trumpet 2, F Horn, Trombone, Tuba. There are two different keys (Bb and Ab) in the arrangement to meet all the quintet's execution capabilities.
