More about this title

About the Arranger: John Wasson

John Wasson is an arranger and composer with deep roots in practical music education. His work consistently addresses what school musicians actually need: flexible instrumentation, strong rhythmic grooves, and arrangements that work whether you have four players or forty.

Why we love this

Wasson understands the pep band reality: you need charts that sound full and energetic regardless of who shows up that day. These arrangements scale seamlessly from a small combo to a full ensemble, and the rhythm section stays locked in thanks to the included accompaniment CD. The song selection spans rock standards to contemporary hits, giving you genuine crowd appeal without sacrificing musicianship.

What to expect

Pure Saturday night energy. These are songs people know and love, arranged with a driving rhythm section pulse that makes even a skeleton crew sound like they're having a blast. The rock grooves carry the musical weight, freeing your front line to focus on locking in together.

Who it's for

Pep bands and smaller combo groups looking for flexible, energetic rock repertoire that doesn't demand a full roster. Tenor and baritone sax players (and other B-flat treble clef instruments) wanting material that ranges from classic rock to contemporary pop. Directors programming events where ensemble size fluctuates week to week.

How to get the most out of it

  • Lock in with the accompaniment CD during rehearsals so your B-flat players hear exactly where the rhythm section sits. This is especially valuable when you're running with fewer than a full band.
  • Balance the sax and baritone voices across the ensemble; even in a four-player combo, both parts need presence to maintain the arrangement's intended punch.
  • Let the rock grooves breathe. These charts sit in the pocket, so steady time and groove awareness matter more than technical precision.

How to use it

Build a pep band set that stands on its own at halftime or pep rallies, mixing crowd favorites with accessibility for rotating or developing players. The flip-folio format makes it easy to shuffle through a 14-song menu depending on what your audience wants to hear.

Skills your students will build

  • Reading and playing rock rhythms and syncopation
  • Ensemble cohesion with minimal instrumentation
  • Time and groove awareness in relation to a locked rhythm section
  • Balancing individual voice clarity while blending with sparse harmony
