Christmas Medley
Side Notes: Helpful Hints:
I had Simon & Garfunkles famous tune: "Are you going to
Scarborough Fair" in mind when I did this arrangement
(for optimal performance, keep the feel of that song in
mind).
Dont rush, period (the only possible exception might
be on 3rd and longbut be careful of the screen or the
quarterback draw).

Side Notes: Helpful Hints:
Heres a little insiders secret: This song was
actually a first year music theory assignment in
college. (I think it got an A minus.)
Dont pay any attention to that man behind the
