Free Christmas Music for Beginning Band

John and I have put together two very basic Christmas songs for beginning band.  Feel free to use, change, expand or perform with your beginners.  If you have songs of your own to post, email me the Finale files and I will post them on the website. 

Zip files contain parts, recordings and scores in Finale format.  Send us a recording if you use the music. smcclard@bolivarschools.org  

Note: Frosty Bell Rock requires a keyboard solo, singer, or guitar solo to complete the melody and octave.  

CHRISTMAS MUSIC FOR BEGINNERS

Weather Cancellation

Due to possible inclement weather, the SCMMEA administration has made an executive decision to postpone the SCMMEA 5/6 & 7/8 District Honor Choir event scheduled for Saturday, February 1, 2014.  This decision was made after much thought.  Several schools have already indicated that they would not be in attendance due to their administration making the decision that they would not be allowed to travel with the possibility of slick roads.  While I understand Missouri weather may miss us completely, the SCMMEA administration feels this is in the best interest of all involved.  

Please respond confirming you have received this message.  

Thank you for your support.  We will be rescheduling the event. Please look at your calendars for potential dates.
