The holiday spirit has the campus singing!

Hill Records, the U of A’s student-run independent record label, recently visited different departments like Santa’s elves to collect and record this fun version of the classic holiday song “Jingle Bells” to share with everyone this season.

Ellie Rhoades, vice president of booking at Hill Records, had the idea to get everyone in on the holiday celebration. Once the idea took off, Peter Crites, vice president of production, grabbed a camera and a microphone and set off to create some fun.

The duo found several volunteer guest singers, including staff and faculty from the Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Education and Health Professions, the Sam M. Walton College of Business, the School of Law, and the Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food, and Life Sciences.

Even Chancellor Robinson pitched in, lending his vocals with Provost Martin and other members of the administrative team.

Check out the “Jingle Bells” video as well as the latest EP from Hill Records, Rain Check, which is now available on all major streaming platforms and their website.
