FROSTY THE SNOW”MEN” arranged by Evan Chop Henry

Question 1 - Want high notes? I guess all of you are on the "Nice List" because Santa came early this year - take a listen NOW, before Frosty melts!

Question 2 - What happens when you combine four “symphonic” players with two “jazzers”?

Well, when you have an arrangement like this by Evan Chop Henry, SPARKS FLY! Better watch out, Frosty - this one gets pretty hot!

We’re SURE you are all going to enjoy this arrangement, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t draw attention to the fact that everyone in this video feels comfortable playing in any style in which they are asked - hence the quotation marks around “symphonic” and “jazzers”.

If you are a student wondering where you fit in the current musical landscape - a good starting point at this moment when no one is working or auditioning might be to explore learning and getting comfortable playing in different styles.

Remember - if you only know one thing, you’re only useful to someone who needs that one thing. Expand your horizons and what you feel comfortable with - then your skill set suddenly becomes more valuable to a lot more people!

Thank you to Wesley Nance for bringing this arrangement to our attention. Evan was a trumpet student of Wesley's and got his start composing for the Eastman Community Music School Trumpet Ensemble. He is now a full-time composer residing in Eugene, OR.

Thank you to Tim Saeger for your video and audio editing... and burning high notes! We’d be nowhere without you!

Now - Happy Holidays from this all-California crew! Let’s make some holiday noise!
