More about this title

About the Arranger: Mike Story

Mike Story has built a reputation as a versatile arranger for marching and pep bands, with a particular gift for making crowd-friendly charts that don't sacrifice musicality. His arrangements prioritize accessibility without dumbing down the writing, a balance that keeps students engaged and audiences entertained.

Why we love this

Story strips each tune to its essential character and hooks, then builds the arrangement around what makes the original memorable. You get genuine fun to play and conductible charts that don't require a massive instrumentation to sound full.

What to expect

Electric and immediate. These are tunes built for momentum and crowd response. The bells sit right at the energetic center of each chart, catching light and carrying hooks that cut through stadium noise.

Who it's for

Bells players in marching and pep bands who need portable, dependable arrangements for game day, competitions, or community events. Directors building a library of short, flexible charts that work across multiple performance contexts without requiring extended rehearsal time to sound polished.

How to get the most out of it

  • Keep the articulation crisp and synchronized across the section, especially on the rhythmic hits. The tightness of these attacks drives the energy.
  • Let the ballad charts (particularly The Star Spangled Banner) breathe; the lyre-size format works best when you're not rushing the phrase architecture.
  • Balance the bells against the drumset and synthesizer parts carefully. These arrangements are written lean, so each voice matters in the final blend.
  • Use the tune selection strategically in your show; back-to-back high-energy tracks can fatigue the section, so mix tempos and textures throughout.

How to use it

Drop these into your halftime shows, pep rallies, and sideline rotations throughout the season. The 18-tune variety means you can program 3-4 consecutive numbers without repeating a genre or mood, building a complete mini-set within a single show.

Skills your students will build

  • reading in lyre-size format and adjusting visual distance cues
  • maintaining rhythmic precision in ensemble hits across multiple instrumental timbres
  • balancing melodic responsibility against harmonic and rhythmic accompaniment parts
  • adapting to condensed chart formats and quick material turnover
