More about this title
About the Artist: Bruno Mars
Bruno Mars emerged in the early 2010s as a pop virtuoso with an uncanny ability to channel the grooves and production styles of past decades while keeping his sound unmistakably contemporary. His work synthesizes funk, R&B, hip-hop, and disco influences, making him a rare mainstream artist whose catalog rewards close listening and rewards ensemble performance equally well.
Why we love this
This medley captures what makes Bruno Mars such a generative artist for concert band: the three selections span funk grooves, rhythmic hip-hop stylings, and disco swagger, giving your ensemble a genuine variety challenge within a single concert piece. The introductory solo opportunity and Patrick Roszell's smart, playable arrangement mean students connect immediately to music they actually know while building musicianship across contrasting textures and feels.
What to expect
Three distinct moods delivered in quick succession: the tight, syncopated funk of "24K Magic," the laid-back hip-hop swagger of "That's What I Like," and the infectious, dance-floor energy of "Treasure." The medley pulls off what pop music does best, creating moments of genuine groove while maintaining enough musical substance to satisfy both players and listeners.
Who it's for
Concert bands at the medium-easy to medium level who want contemporary repertoire with proven audience appeal and serious musical variety. This works equally well for groups building confidence with pop arrangements and for ensembles looking to program music their students genuinely want to play.
How to get the most out of it
- Lock in the rhythmic precision during "24K Magic." The funky articulation and syncopated hits depend entirely on ensemble cohesion; mark your attacks and releases in parts before rehearsal.
- Balance the solo feature so it reads as confident without drowning the background texture. The moment needs clarity without overshadowing the larger arrangement.
- Approach "Treasure" with genuine disco bounce. Resist the temptation to play it straight; let the style breathe and ask your rhythm section to lean into the swing feel.
- Keep the hip-hop feel in "That's What I Like" grounded in the pocket rather than driving it forward. The arrangement works best when it sits in the groove rather than pushing.
How to use it
This medley works beautifully as a closing number or as a cornerstone of a pop-focused concert. The three-in-one structure also makes it ideal for pops concerts, community engagement events, or spring concerts where you want to showcase student musicianship without leaning entirely on classical repertoire.

- Syncopated rhythmic accuracy across multiple time feels
- Articulation clarity in funk and hip-hop styles
