Holiday Fun

Christmas may be over, but if you're still in the mood for holiday music, this is the place to be! In the last couple weeks before the holiday musical, if students had extra time in class after practicing their songs for that, they'd get to choose from a variety of short reward videos. Lots of students really gravitated towards Pentatonix, Piano Guys, and A Claymation Christmas Celebration (yes, the one from the '80s!). Here are some of their favorites... (Oh, and if you're in the mood for last year's Frozen earworm, remember to check out the "Let It Go" blog post, which has several covers and parodies of the catchy song.)

From A Claymation Christmas Celebration

Carol of the Bells - "Dumb Bell"

"Angels We Have Heard On High"

"We Three Kings"

From The Piano Guys

"Angels We Have Heard On High"

"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer"

From Straight No Chaser

"12 Days of Christmas" (I told the students this was more like Christmas carols in a blender, plus some Toto)

From Pentatonix

"Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy" (from The Nutcracker)

"The Little Drummer Boy"

And finally, a karaoke track...

"I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas"
