Okay, so I shared a few things recently, seeking opinions. I liked some, disliked some, and sort of shrugged my shoulders at some.
I have incorporated what I thought would make this a better medley. This one is about seven and a half minutes long and is several of my too-short arrangements with some additions, improvements, and transition material. It is pretty good, outside of being a collection of lesser-known tunes.
Here it is. I may not be able to give it out in the Fall, so grab a copy now.

Re: FREE: Finished Christmas Medley
Wade, thanks. In our regional community band we have a brass quintet from the members. Among other gigs here and there through the year we play during the intermission of our community band Christmas concert. I have downloaded both arrangements. I hope the other members of the quintet will agree to perform one or the other of your arrangements. I don't think that the intermission is long enough, unfortunately, to play both. But i will encourage them to play one or the other. Thanks again.

Re: FREE: Finished Christmas Medley
Thanks!
This one is 7:30 in length if taken at tempo, so it could be stretched some with ease. The other (harder) one is about 11:00 long, which is too long, IMHO. I have to do some chopping, but do not want to delete any of the pieces or my transitional material. So that means I have to shorten some of the arrangements internally. I will likely post that in the Fall if I am able. This will be the only time the full-length version will be shared. Hope that is helpful. Please, also, I get enormous satisfaction from hearing folks play my arrangements, so if you record it, share a link with me; it would make my day!
Cheers!
