More about this title

About the Arranger: Mike Story

Mike Story is an accomplished arranger with deep roots in the marching arts. His knack for adapting recognizable melodies into energetic, accessible arrangements has made him a trusted voice for groups looking to engage audiences without sacrificing musicianship.

Why we love this

Story's arrangements cut straight to what makes these songs work: the hook, the energy, the moment that gets people on their feet. The doubling throughout means your section sounds full and confident whether you're marching 60 players or 120, and the variety keeps rehearsals from ever feeling stale.

What to expect

Immediate, celebratory, and built for movement. These are songs people already know and love, arranged so your band sounds polished and purposeful in just 12 pages of music.

Who it's for

Directors building a marching band book that connects with spectators and keeps student energy high throughout the season. Baritone players benefit from the melodic responsibility and the chance to anchor harmonic movement across a diverse setlist.

How to get the most out of it

  • Lock the rhythmic precision on the syncopated figures in "Gonna Fly Now" and "Jump"; these are what punch through crowd noise.
  • Treat the melody lines as your priority in ballad-tempo pieces like "Oh, Pretty Woman" so the audience hears what they came for.
  • Balance the Bass and Alto registers in doubling passages so neither washes out the lead voice.
  • Use the recorded accompaniment as a reference for groove and tempo, especially on funk-driven tunes like "My Sharona" and "Freeze Frame".

How to use it

Drop individual pieces into halftime or pregame slots without needing lengthy setup or dramatic lighting changes. The collection works well for field shows that rotate through crowd-pleasers, or as a resource for pep band scenarios where you need quick, reliable material that lands every time.

Skills your students will build

  • Reading syncopated rhythms in funk and rock idioms
  • Balancing part independence within thick harmonic textures
  • Executing punchy articulation on short melodic phrases
  • Anchoring harmonic doubling lines with consistent tone
