Performance Notes
You’re gonna love this Christmas hit from Mariah Carey! Conduct the notes through beats 3 & 4 of bar 12. Count in to bar 14 with the new tempo, from here out we’re in swing eighth-note mode. Be sure the “Deck the Halls” quote can be heard from the bells in bars 75-76. It’s always a plus to have the ensemble in Santa hats when performing this holiday classic!
