Christmas time is here, Sleigh Ride 2nd tpt part

Post by zangerzzz »

I believe I down loaded these tunes from this forum and the 2nd trumpet part is missing. Does anyone have these parts? They were arranged by Wade Rackley.

ThnkZ!

Wade Rackley thank you for your wonderful arrangements. My church brass ensemble plays them every year after our Christmas eve service. Your efforts are appreciated.

For Sleigh Ride we add two percussionists. We have found that the concert band percussion parts work perfectly with your arrangement of Sleigh Ride. I can post the percussion parts here if there is interest and if it is permitted.

If the tuba player can use pedal operated sleigh bells and the trumpet can hit the slap stick at the right time there is really no need for the percussionists, assuming you can do without the clip clops. Haven't figured out a way to add them yet.
I am fortunate to have a great job that feeds my family well, but music feeds my soul.

Pedal operated sleigh bells sounds fun. Is that something you make or buy?

Drill a hole in a piece of angle iron about 8 inches long and mount it in place of the top cymbal on a high hat. Hang the sleigh bells from the bar and you have foot operated sleigh bells. The bells work but it is quite a challenge to play the tuba part and work the bells in time. I finally gave up at the request of the rest of my quintet. They said they would rather have the tuba part by itself than half the tuba part with out of rhythm bells.
