The holiday season heads South as Santa packs his bags for a much-needed trip to the warm and sunny Caribbean Islands. Easy Latin rhythms, fun-to-perform percussion parts and playable ranges for both brass and woodwinds combine in a tuneful setting of the traditional carol Up On The Housetop. Your audience will be highly entertained and the band, wearing sunglasses of course, will have discovered their new favorite work. A great holiday choice!
