More about this title
About the Artist: Jessie J, Ariana Grande Nicki Minaj
Jessie J burst onto the pop scene with her powerful vocal presence and songwriting prowess, earning multiple Grammy nominations and establishing herself as a force in contemporary music. Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj brought their distinctive styles to the collaboration, with Grande's vocal range and Minaj's commanding rap delivery creating one of pop's most memorable power anthems. Together, these three artists created a track that bridges pop, hip-hop, and soul sensibilities, making it ideal material for contemporary marching arrangements that energize audiences.
Why we love this
Cox's arrangement captures the swagger and infectious energy of the original while translating it brilliantly for the marching field. The Grade 3 scoring makes this accessible without sacrificing the impact that draws crowds, giving your band a modern repertoire piece that genuinely excites both performers and audiences.
What to expect
Confident and driving, with an undeniable groove that propels the ensemble forward from the opening note. The arrangement channels the original's swagger and attitude, delivering that stadium-filling excitement through crisp articulation, punchy rhythms, and the kind of energy that makes audiences sit up and pay attention.
Who it's for
Marching bands seeking contemporary repertoire that appeals to student performers and spectators alike will find this arrangement instantly engaging. It works particularly well for programs wanting to bridge the gap between classical and pop idioms without compromising musicianship.
How to get the most out of it
- Lock the eighth-note pulse early in sectional rehearsals. The momentum of this arrangement depends entirely on rhythmic precision across the entire ensemble.
- Balance the lead line so it cuts through without overshadowing the harmonic foundation. The "catchy riff" mentioned in the arrangement thrives when surrounded by solid support.
- Treat dynamics as part of the narrative arc rather than just markings on the page. Strategic pushes and pulls will amplify the track's natural climb toward climactic moments.
- Let the recorded accompaniment guide your interpretation during early rehearsals, but prioritize the independence of your sections so they can lock together without relying on playback during performance.
How to use it
This works beautifully as a closer that sends crowds home energized, or as a mid-show jolt that shifts the mood and showcases your band's range beyond traditional concert band repertoire. Consider pairing it with other contemporary arrangements to build a cohesive statement about your program's musical identity.
