More about this title
About the Arranger: Victor López
Victor López is one of the most widely performed and recorded arrangers in contemporary marching arts. His compositions and arrangements have become staples at high school and college marching competitions, known for their musicality, accessibility across ability levels, and genuine connection to the source material. López understands how to translate pop and rock idioms into effective marching band writing without sacrificing either the energy of the original or the integrity of the ensemble sound.
Why we love this
López captures the swagger and groove of the original while respecting the realities of marching band voicing and logistics. The arrangement gives you a recognizable, engaging crowd-pleaser that doesn't require virtuosos to sound good, making it ideal for programs that want contemporary energy without excessive technical demand.
What to expect
Confident and propulsive. This arrangement channels the raw, unapologetic rock energy of the original while translating it into the marching idiom with respect for ensemble capabilities. You'll feel the swagger of the Stones but hear it through a marching band lens.
Who it's for
Marching bands at the intermediate to advanced high school level looking for contemporary repertoire that connects with student interests and audiences alike. Directors seeking a Grade 3 chart that delivers musical satisfaction without consuming months of rehearsal time.
How to get the most out of it
- Lock in the groove from rehearsal one. The rhythmic pocket of this tune carries the whole chart, so establish rock-solid timekeeping in the rhythm section and drill the syncopated figures across the full ensemble early and often.
- Balance the melody so it cuts through the supporting harmonies without overblowing. The iconic riff needs to be present and clear, but marching band dynamics in outdoor settings demand restraint from soloists.
- Shape the phrasing with the original recording in your ears. Understanding the vocal inflections and where the track breathes will inform how your band phrases passages and executes articulation.
How to use it
Place this in a competitive program as a crowd-favorite opener or closer that energizes both your performers and the audience. It also works as an excellent festival selection when you want to demonstrate musical range and contemporary taste alongside more classical selections.
Skills your students will build
- Playing syncopated rhythms with precision and groove
- Balancing individual lines within contemporary harmonic textures
- Responding to rock-based articulation and phrasing conventions
- Executing the performance demands of a driven, four-on-the-floor marching context
