More about this title

About the Arranger: Mike Story

Mike Story is an arranger known for his work in marching band and pep band settings, with a particular gift for creating high-energy arrangements that work in the real constraints of field and stadium performance. His charts prioritize playability without sacrificing impact, understanding that synthesizer players need parts that sit naturally while driving the overall sound.

Why we love this

Story has done the hard work of taking recognizable hits and making them sound full on a modest instrumentation palette. The synthesizer writing here sits in that sweet spot between melodic responsibility and textural support, giving your synth player something genuinely musical to do rather than just filling space.

What to expect

Immediate recognition mixed with rhythmic propulsion. These are songs people know and want to hear, arranged here with bright energy and enough harmonic color that they feel fresh rather than diminished by their brevity.

Who it's for

Directors running pep bands, football halftime shows, or marching units that need a grab-bag of crowd favorites without reinventing the wheel. Synthesizer players looking for accessible material that gives them real musical responsibility at an easy-to-moderate difficulty level.

How to get the most out of it

  • Keep the synthesizer tone consistent within each tune rather than tweaking settings between charts. A stable, slightly bright foundation will blend better with brass and let the melodic lines cut through without sounding disconnected.
  • Balance the synthesizer volume against your electric bass and drumset so the three parts feel like a cohesive rhythm section. These miniature arrangements depend on that lock more than they do on raw volume.
  • Practice the transitions between tunes in sequence if you're programming several of them together. The tempo and energy shifts demand clean handoffs from your synth player.

How to use it

Pull individual charts throughout the season whenever you need something quick and reliable for a specific event. The lyre-size format and consistent difficulty make this perfect for pep band calendars where you're hitting three events a month and need dependable material ready to go.

Skills your students will build

  • Reading synthesizer voicings and harmonic structures across multiple tunes
  • Locking rhythm section parts with electric bass and drumset
  • Quick adaptation to tempo and style shifts between consecutive arrangements
  • Balancing solo and textural roles within compact, high-energy settings
