Well, its that time of year again. Dust off the holiday music and start practicing. Can you guess what we did in orchestra today?

One of the pieces we read was really strange, the arranger tried to fit all known chrisstmas carols on two pages... There were about 8 measures of each carol before starting the next (with out any sort of transition...) My 'favorite' was going from Deck the Halls to Silent Night... it doesn't quite work

Deck the Halls to Silent Night? Wow, that's an ARRANGEMENT! Very funny.

Unfortunately, that sounds like something I'd try and pass off. I'm not all that great with transitions but I know that's pretty bad.
