How to Play it against Christmas Joy to the World in Eb:

Joy to the World (Christmas, then Jeremiah)
Play Christmas Version x 2 (not too slow)
Over last note, Leader Yells "1,2!"
and then bass/trombone do lead into measure 4
(i.e. skip measures of intro but do lead in, Eb E F)
and Singer starts in 1 "Jeremiah was a bull frog"
every one but bass sings 2 ("joy... to the world, all the boys and girls)
then everyone plays 1
then everyone sings 2, slowdown last joyyy to you aaaand meeeeeeeee

VERSE: Jeremiah was a bullfrog
Was a good friend of mine
I never understood a single word he said
But I helped him a-drink his wine
And he always had some mighty fine wine

CHORUS:
(Singin'...) Joy to the world
All the boys and girls (now)
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me

If transitioning to Handel (winter tunes) at end: do instruments (not vocal) on final time through section II, play all four beats (drumming/clicking) of final bar, then go straight to first bar of Handel (keeping steady pace)
