About the Arranger: Justin Williams

Justin Williams

Justin Williams brings deep arranging credentials earned through private study with accomplished composers including Dr. William Jerryl Davis, Patrick Roszell, and Robert W. Smith. His work appears regularly in high school band programs across the country, and he has served as staff arranger for some of the nation's most visible marching ensembles, including Jacksonville State University's "Marching Southerners" and the University of Louisiana at Lafayette's "Pride of Acadiana."

Williams' arrangements have graced major performance venues including bowl game halftime shows, BCS championship productions, the Rose Bowl Parade, Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, and the Lord Mayor's New Year's Day Parade in London. Beyond his prolific writing career, he has taught history and political science at Central Alabama Community College and serves as staff arranger for the Belwin Division of Alfred Music.

Why we love this

Williams captures the theatrical swagger of these iconic musicals without overcomplicating the parts. A Grade 3 arrangement that actually feels like the real thing matters; this score respects the original music while keeping ensemble execution straightforward. Your students will recognize these melodies instantly and feel the genuine energy of movie musical theater.

What to expect

Stepping onto a Broadway stage. The excitement of ABBA's disco-pop energy, the dreamy sophistication of a jazz club love scene, and the brassy punch of a big production number all live in the same score. This medley sweeps from euphoria to romance to showstopping finale.

Who it's for

Concert bands at the intermediate level who want contemporary, recognizable repertoire that sounds sophisticated without excessive difficulty. Directors programming a concert that balances classic winds literature with popular fare will find this an ideal anchor piece.

How to get the most out of it

  • Keep the rhythm section locked on the groove, especially in 'Dancing Queen.' The ensemble will follow the pulse naturally once drums and bass establish it clearly.
  • Balance the melody throughout the medley so each song gets its moment to shine. Resist the urge to over-feature any single section; the transitions are part of the arrangement's success.
  • Shape the 'Overture/And All That Jazz' section with crisp articulation in the reeds and brass. The jazz idiom requires clarity and rhythmic precision rather than a smooth, legit sound.

How to use it

Feature this as your concert closer or lead your second half. Audiences respond immediately to these melodies, and the Grade 3 accessibility means you can program it without sacrificing musical credibility. It pairs well alongside other pop-influenced works or serves as an uplifting contrast to more classical selections.

Skills your students will build

  • Jazz articulation and phrasing in a concert band context
  • Maintaining ensemble blend across frequent style shifts
  • Recognizing and executing rhythmic patterns from pop and musical theater idioms
  • Balancing melody and accompaniment in a medley structure
