More about this title

Why we love this

Brian Scott's arrangement captures the infectious Afrobeat pocket of the original without sacrificing the song's infectious energy in a marching setting. The Grade 3 voicing keeps parts accessible for mid-level sections while maintaining the groove that makes this hit instantly recognizable to audiences. It's the kind of contemporary arrangement that energizes a program and reminds listeners why marching band matters in modern music culture.

What to expect

Relaxed and propulsive at once. The Afrobeat groove has a natural hip-swaying quality that feels almost effortless even though precise execution matters. There's an easy confidence in the melody and harmony that makes this feel like the band is playing something cool rather than working hard.

Who it's for

Band directors programming contemporary music that resonates with students and audiences alike. This works well for groups comfortable with syncopated rhythms and the laid-back energy of modern pop grooves. It's equally suited to field shows seeking accessible crowd-pleasing material or concert settings where you want to bridge classical marching band tradition with current musical culture.

How to get the most out of it

Lock the ride cymbal pattern with the bass line to establish the Afrobeat foundation; the rhythm section drives everything else in this arrangement.
Balance the melodic content across the upper voices without letting any single voice dominate; the hook works best when it feels conversational rather than spotlight-driven.
Maintain steady tempo throughout, especially during transitions between sections. The groove depends on groove consistency, not on playing faster when energy peaks.
Emphasize the percussive attacks in the lower woodwinds and brass to reinforce the rhythmic character; this is as much about articulation as it is about tone.

How to use it

Open a concert or stand show segment with this to shift the audience's energy and reset expectations about what marching band can be. The compact 2:10 runtime makes it an ideal encore piece or a bridge between classical and contemporary repertoire in a longer program. It also works as a morale builder early in the season, since the groove invites students to enjoy playing rather than just execute mechanics.
