Who doesn’t remember the thrill of a sled ride on a snowy day down the longest and steepest hill? Time to get your warmest jacket on and tie your boots tight for a trip down Sleddin’ Hill! The perilous journey begins by leading us into a playful melody in the trumpets. As the sled picks up speed we add woodwinds and clever percussion sound effects. The ever-increasing tempo reflects the momentum of the sled culminating in an exhilarating finish when the sled finally comes to an abrupt stop. Everyone will enjoy this trip down Sleddin’ Hill..
