This arrangement was done for the UNT O’Clock Lab Band and their Fall 2024 Christmas concert. It aims to be a new take on a classic Christmas standard with the One O’Clock spin. It includes fun swing figures with some classic Count Basie Band style writing along with lots of room for soloists. There are multiple tempo transitions that require a strong drummer and rhythm section, but once those are sorted out this chart should be lots of fun for everyone!
