A Christmas Celebration
arr. Kenny Bierschenk
A Christmas Celebration is a medley of familiar tunes. It begins with the regal “March of the Kings,” followed by “What Child Is This,” “I Saw Three Ships,” “Lo, How a Rose” and “Bring a Torch”. There are wonderful displays of woodwind and brass choirs with carols layered together for a festive and grand finale!

He is director of bands at Taylor High School and conductor of the Mount Community Concert Band near Cincinnati, Ohio.
