Goin' To A *Holiday Party
From Plank Road Publishing
by Teresa JenningsThis versatile festive rock tune can be used for your holiday programs, celebrations, and yes, parties. However, there's a lot more to it than that. First there are all of the optional extra student lines. These include Boomwhackers®, bells, jingle bells, tambourine, cowbell, hand drum, rhythm sticks, ukuleles, guitars, and body percussion. You can use any, all, or none of them along with your singers. It's a neat way to combine the skills your players have been learning in a performance setting. The parts are easy and repetitive, and the kit includes extracted PDFs of all of them.
For added flexibility, replace the word "holiday." For example, "Goin' to a birthday party," or "Goin' to a Christmas party," or "Goin' to costume party." To help with this, we recorded a version of kids singing "hmm hmm" instead of "holiday." Plug in your own topic where the "hmm hmm's" are.
You will also find a full version with voices and body percussion, but without any of the kid instruments, and a version that is only kid instruments plus drums. The latter will allow your players to rehearse together. And it just sounds cool! (from Music K-8, Vol. 35, No. 2)
