Christmas seems to bring to cheer to people around the globe. Most everyone gets together with friends and family to enjoy the season. You usually partake in some food, presents, and especially music. Christmas songs are a great way to set the mood for any festivity!

Amazingly, the Unites States Navy Band has been performing since 1925. Their performances have included funerals, dinners, presidential inaugurations, and many other events. They don't limit themselves to a genre of music either. They play jazz, classics, and even country.

Their Holiday concert in 2015 had a very special twist on "Jingle Bells." Instead of playing it the way that we all know, they played it as a contest between a guitar and a banjo. Everyone has their own pick for music, even for Christmas music. That`s why when it was announced to be a duel, this caught the attention of all of the attendees there.

These two had the crowd going in amazement. They jokingly got into a fighting stance and that's when the duel began. On the banjo is Senior Chief Petty Officer, Keith Arneson and on the guitar is Petty Officer First Class, Joe Friedman.

They kept everyone going and wanting more. Much to everyone's surprise, there was even a little bit of the Star Wars theme. This was thanks to Officer Arneson. The crowd loved it! Check out the video and see who you think won:
