More about this title
About the Artist: Justin Timberlake
Justin Timberlake emerged as a multi-talented performer with roots in pop and R&B, building a career that spans acting, production, and songwriting. His work on film soundtracks and original compositions has made him a fixture in contemporary music education, where his accessible melodies and rhythmic clarity serve both ensemble and solo contexts effectively.
Why we love this
Paul Murtha's arrangement captures the irresistible forward momentum of the original without sacrificing clarity for a younger ensemble. The infectious groove lands solidly at Grade 3, giving students a modern pop anthem they actually want to play while building genuine musicianship around rhythm section precision and melodic phrasing.
What to expect
Pure kinetic energy wrapped in accessible pop sensibility. The arrangement maintains the original's infectious groove while incorporating horn harmonies and rhythmic interplay that keeps an ensemble engaged from the first downbeat through the final hit. There's genuine joy in the harmonic movement and a satisfying sense of forward propulsion that makes this feel modern without being trend-chasing.
Who it's for
Marching bands at the Grade 3 level looking for contemporary repertoire that energizes audiences and maintains student engagement throughout the season. Directors programming shows that blend popular culture with developing musicianship will find this arrangement strikes that balance effectively.
How to get the most out of it
- Lock the hi-hat and snare pocket before layering brass entrances; the groove lives in that foundation, and everything else hinges on it staying locked.
- Shape the main riff through dynamics rather than tempo changes. Let the melody breathe during its second statement by pulling back slightly in the inner voices.
- Balance the saxophone line so it sits just forward of the trumpet countermelody. These two voices define the character of the middle section.
- Keep the ending driving forward even as you soften the dynamic. The groove should feel inevitable, not diminished.
How to use it
Open a show or halftime set with this one to establish immediate audience connection and set a celebratory tone. The contemporary sound also works beautifully as a bridge between more traditional concert repertoire and younger ensemble repertoire, signaling to audiences that your program lives in the present moment while maintaining musical integrity.
