Presenting
Victor Herbert's
instantly recognizable
March of the Toys with
all-new hilarious lyrics!
This festive feature
reads like a wacky to-do
list of holiday
preparations with
non-stop punchlines from
the choir and a couple
cameo soloists. Your
fullest sounds, brightest
faces, and biggest
personalities are on full
display with this
theatrical celebration of
the season. Get ready to
giggle when handheld
percussion instruments
and sound effects (played
by choristers) introduce
a parade of unwanted
out-of-town guests. It's
a crazy cast of
characters and Christmas
chaos straight out of a
comedic holiday movie.
Mark Hayes provides a
showy piano reduction and
a grand orchestration (on
the SoundTrax or
SoundPax) from fanfare to
finish. Visit to download
