O Whacky Christmas Tree – Most students will immediately recognize the « flavor » of the opening sounds of this distinctive arrangement of « O Christmas Tree. » We have blended an optional vocal melody with Boomwhackers® for lots of fun and holiday spirit. You’ve got to hear it!
A Whacky Winter Song – A little bit of silly singing and Boomwhacker® playing is bound to lift anyone’s spirits. And, as with any Boomwhacker® song, you can substitute other pitched percussion or mallets if you like. Kids will love performing this one.
Whack Attack! – It’s whacky! It’s fun! It’s « Whack Attack! » In this high energy piece we’ve done a bit of a parody of a classic ’80s hit, which shall remain nameless, but whose name rhymes with… Nevermind! You’ll figure it out.
