More about this title
About the Composer: Frederick Perren
Frederick Perren was a prolific songwriter and producer who helped define the sound of 1970s funk and soul. His work with the Sylvers and other artists demonstrated a gift for crafting infectious grooves and memorable melodies that transcended genre boundaries. Perren's arrangements and compositions remain touchstones for understanding how pop music translates into ensemble settings.
Why we love this
Michael Brown's arrangement channels the original's irresistible energy while building in enough harmonic movement to keep every section engaged. The Grade 3 difficulty level doesn't sacrifice the funk; instead, it focuses that groove into something your band can really lock into and perform with confidence.
What to expect
Unstoppable forward motion wrapped in tight syncopation. The arrangement pulses with the kind of infectious energy that makes audiences move in their seats, while the key changes and layered rhythmic figures keep your students focused and engaged throughout.
Who it's for
Marching bands looking for contemporary pop repertoire that doesn't talk down to Grade 3 performers. This works especially well for groups wanting a confident closer or a crowd-friendly crowd pleaser that teaches rhythmic sophistication.
How to get the most out of it
- Establish the groove early in rehearsal by isolating the rhythm section and letting the pulse sit. Once that pocket is solid, layer the remaining parts in rather than running everything together from the start.
- The key changes won't feel jarring if you treat each new section as a natural lift in energy. Conduct the transition clearly so the band feels the harmonic shift as momentum, not disruption.
- Balance the front ensemble with the woodwinds during the horn riffs. These lines should pop without overshadowing the melodic content.
- Pay attention to the syncopation in the brass lines. Precision here is what separates a sloppy version from one that actually smells like funk.
How to use it
Save this for a late-season concert or community event where you want to finish on a high note. The tune's familiarity means audiences connect immediately, while the arrangement's technical demands signal that your band takes even pop music seriously.
Skills your students will build
- Syncopated rhythm reading in funk contexts
- Executing smooth key changes while maintaining groove integrity
- Balancing rhythmic precision with stylistic feel
- Front ensemble independence from the full band texture
- Collective dynamic control across sections with complex layering
