You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch

I am copying this post (including the poster's name at the end - not me!) from another forum where I saw this. I do not see it posted here and thought you might enjoy it, too.
You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch - arranged by Kyle Myers
Maybe you’re someone who hates high notes.
Maybe you’re someone who hates low notes.
Or - maybe you’re someone who hates the holiday videos we put out…
Then YOU are who we are trying to reach and THIS is the video that will convert the Grinch inside of you!
You all are in for a real holiday treat today. When tubist , Aaron McCalla joined the San Diego Symphony, he requested that we find a way to include him in our “TrUmPeT vIdEoS”. Well - not only did we include him - he’s the featured tuba soloist in this Kyle Myers arrangement of “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch”!
We think you’re gonna love Kyle’s arrangement and Tim Saeger’s vision for this video. We’ve got all the high notes. We’ve got all the low notes. We’ve even got drums, bass guitar, and trombone! Oh - and definitely stick around at the end for some questionable dance moves
I’m still recovering from the pulled hamstring I gave myself…
We are so fortunate to be able to continue our collaboration with Kyle Myers, as well as work with such amazing musicians as:
