More about this title
About the Composer: Greg Kurstin
Greg Kurstin is a Grammy-winning producer and songwriter who has shaped modern pop music across multiple genres. His work spans production, composition, and arrangement, contributing to chart-topping tracks and albums that have defined the sound of the 2010s and beyond.
Why we love this
Victor López's arrangement captures the infectious energy of the original without losing the pop sensibility that makes this tune irresistible. The Grade 3 accessibility means your ensemble can execute the driving rhythmic momentum that defines the song, making it equally effective at halftime or in a pep band context.
What to expect
Propulsive and modern, with the kind of rhythmic drive that keeps both players and listeners engaged. The arrangement channels the original's pop polish while building something that feels natural for marching ensemble forces.
Who it's for
Marching bands and pep bands seeking contemporary repertoire that connects with student musicians and audiences alike. Directors at all levels can program this; the Grade 3 rating means accessibility without sacrificing musical integrity or the original's character.
How to get the most out of it
- Establish the groove early in rehearsal by isolating the rhythm section (battery and low brass) to lock the pocket before adding melodic content.
- Balance the main melody against the rhythmic undercurrent; the arrangement works best when listeners feel the propulsion underneath rather than hearing a melody laid on top.
- Pay attention to the recorded timing (1:37) when rehearsing full-field drill or stand arrangements; this keeps the pacing tight and energetic.
- Build dynamic contrast through the arrangement's structural sections; resist the urge to stay at one intensity level throughout.
How to use it
Deploy this in pep band contexts where contemporaneity and accessibility matter, or feature it as a halftime offering that gives audiences something they actually know. The energy and reasonable difficulty level make it ideal for the second half of the season when fundamental technique is solid and students are ready to focus on style and groove.
Skills your students will build
- Maintaining groove and pocket within a rhythmic ensemble context
- Balancing melody and accompaniment texture
- Executing contemporary pop articulation and phrasing
- Reading and performing from a full score arrangement at Grade 3 complexity
