{Music section for band only}
Oh, the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we’ve no place to go
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!
Man it doesn’t show signs of stopping
And I brought me some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let it snow! Let it snow!
{Music section for band only}

Symphony Orchestra:

2. Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer (singing)
You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen
Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen
But do you recall
The most famous reindeer of all?Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw itYou would even say it glows
All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
“Rudolph, with your nose so bright
Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?”
Then how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee
“Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
You’ll go down in history”
{Pause for music section orchestra only}{Reprise sing the ending with us}
Then how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee
“Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
You’ll go down in history”

Joy to the World
Joy to the world, the Lord is come;
Let earth receive her King!
Let ev’ry heart prepare him room
And Saints and angels sing,
And Saints and angels sing,
And Saints, and Saint, and angels sing
Rejoice! Rejoice when Jesus reigns,
And Saints their songs employ,
While fields and floods, rocks, hills,
and plains
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.

Oh, Come, All Ye Faithful
Oh, come, all ye faithful,
Joyful and triumphant!
Oh, come ye, oh come ye to Bethlehem.
Come and behold him,
Born the King of angels;
(Chorus)
Oh, come, let us adore him;
Oh, come, let us adore him;
Oh, come, let us adore him,

Sing in exultation;
Sing, all ye citizens of heav’n above!
Glory to God,
Glory in the highest;
(Chorus)

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing
Hark! the herald angels sing

Joyful, all ye nations, rise;
Join the triumph of the skies;
With th’angelic host proclaim
Christ is born in Bethlehem!
Hark! the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King!
Hail the heav’n-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Son of Righteousness!
Light and life to all he brings,
Ris’n with healing in his wings.
Mild he lays his glory by
Born that man no more may die;
Born to raise the sons of earth,
Born to give them second birth.
Hark! the h erald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King!
{Music interlude}
Silent Night
Silent night! Holy night!
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and Child.
Holy Infant, so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace;
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Silent night! Holy night!

Glories stream from heaven afar;
Heav’nly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ, the Savior, is born!
Christ, the Savior, is born!
