Grand Theft Sleigh


Looking for a fun, darkly unique holiday piece? Look no further! Opening with a fanfare for the big guy in the red suit himself, “Grand Theft Sleigh” quickly takes a dark turn when Jack Frost steals Santa’s prototype self-driving sleigh, along with all its presents, racing off into the winter sky. What follows is a harrowing race to retake the sleigh! Featuring familiar holiday melodies in minor keys and a suspenseful 5/4 time signature while rhythms are approachable and consistent, multiple key changes will keep your ensemble on the edge of their seats. Using his secret North Pole wi-fi as he closes the gap, Santa stops his prototype sled cold, sending Jack Frost flying into the frigid night. The holiday celebration can finally begin with Santa up on the housetop, and conclude with Merry Christmas wishes to all, and a happy New Year!
