About this listen

In this episode of Band BFFs, we break down Sleigh Ride by Leroy Anderson, arranged by Michael Story — a festive, recognizable favorite adapted for beginner and sub–non-varsity bands. With optional simplifications, flexible percussion scoring, and a strong teaching focus on phrasing, articulation, and form (including multiple first and second endings), this charming winter piece provides both challenge and joy. Your students will love the classic sleigh bells, slapstick, and optional trumpet horse whinny — all while learning ensemble skills they'll use for years.
