In The Christmas Checklist, everyone makes a checklist. Mary and Joseph use sticky notes to keep track of what to pack for their trip to Bethlehem, angels double-check the things they need for an upcoming concert, shepherds use a clipboard to lead a hillside roll call, and the wisemen collect star-gazing equipment that will lead them all to the newborn savior. Click here to read a script excerpt.
The Christmas Checklist includes:
1) ONLY contemporary arrangements of 8 familiar Christmas carols with added snaps, actions, sign language and rhythm instruments,
2) piano score with guitar chords,
3) a vocal CD (a recording of Cathy singing the full version of each song),
4) a script that includes Christmas text from Luke 2 with 18+ spoken parts and 10+ non-spoken parts (and the option to expand the parts to include more children or combine the parts for fewer children), prop list, and staging.

NOTE SING-A-LONG OPTION . . . the congregation will know all of the
traditional Christmas carols in this musical, so why not invite them to
sing along! Purchase of the Christmas musical program grants you permission to make as many copies of the sheet music and script as needed for your performance plus permission to make and distribute copies of the vocal CD (a recording of Cathy singing the full version of each song) and lyric sheet to your children (a great way for them to learn the music quickly!). |
 |
You have your choice of a full-length 35-minute version ($40 plus shipping, performance time: 35 minutes) or a short 20-minute version ($30 plus shipping, similar script but fewer/shorter songs - performance time: 20 minutes).
A keyboard CD (no vocals) is also available for $20 plus shipping, for those times when your piano player isn't available or when you need to free up your hands to teach actions or sign language. This CD may also be used for your performance - it's like hiring a piano player who plays the music the same way every time!
To preview this children's Christmas musical program, the full script and the vocal CD (a recording of Cathy singing the full version of each song) are available for $7 plus shipping. The preview package does not include permission to perform the script or any of the songs in the musical.
If you would like to use the 10-12 minute script and insert your own children's Christmas songs, the purchase price of the performance rights for the script is $17. This script includes Christmas text from Luke 2 with 18+ spoken parts and 10+ non-spoken parts (and the option to expand the parts to include more children or combine the parts for fewer children), prop list, and staging. The script can be sent via e-mail to save shipping charges.
If you already have a script and you prefer to purchase individual songs from Cathy's children's Christmas musicals, you have the following options:
1. Purchase sheet music. Sheet music ($3.50 per song) includes piano score, guitar chords and motions. Sheet music can be e-mailed (PDF format) OR printed and mailed.
2. Purchase an MP3 to go along with your sheet music. MP3s ($2.00 per song) include two tracks for each song: a vocal track of Cathy singing the song and a keyboard-only track with no vocals. MP3's are e-mailed.
3. Purchase a Custom CD to go along with your sheet music. There is a $10 labor charge for each custom CD plus the cost of each song that you purchase. Custom CDs include both a vocal track of Cathy singing the song and a keyboard-only track with no vocals. (Example: Custom CD with 2 songs = $10 labor charge + $2.00 for Song #1 + $2.00 for Song #2. CUSTOM CD with 2 SONGS TOTAL = $14.) Custom CDs are shipped via priority mail.
