This is a very cheerful arrangement of the familiar Christmas song "Jingle Bells". The arranger brings this joyful tune from a wintry Christmas to glorious Summer. The audience will enjoy the essence of an extraordinary Christmas experience through this fast, vibrant, and vivid piece. The key element to moving this piece forward in a dance-like manner is the syncopated rhythm. The RT technique is particularly effective to emphasize the contrast between a rung sound and a stopped sound. Maracas are needed for two of the ringers.
