More about this title
About the Artist: Cascada
Cascada emerged from the German electronic music scene in the early 2000s, bringing polished production and infectious melodies to the dancefloor. The trio became known for reworking established pop standards into high-energy eurodance tracks that maintained radio appeal while delivering the propulsive grooves that define the genre.
Their 2005 reimagining of "Everytime We Touch" became one of their signature records, demonstrating how a strong melodic foundation paired with contemporary production can reach audiences across multiple musical contexts. For marching arts programs, their work represents the intersection of accessibility and sophisticated arrangement that gets crowds moving.
Why we love this
Matt Conaway has captured the propulsive energy of this track without overwhelming a Grade 3 ensemble. The arrangement respects the original's infectious appeal while creating genuine musical challenges that keep the drill field engaging and the sound exciting from first rehearsal to final performance.
What to expect
Bright, propulsive, and relentlessly upbeat. The arrangement channels the infectious drive of the original while maintaining the crystalline clarity that makes eurodance production so satisfying. Energy radiates from the pit outward, lifting the entire ensemble into that groove state where precision and joy become one.
Who it's for
Bands aiming to program contemporary pop material with genuine musical substance will find this arrangement delivers on both counts. It works equally well for bands building their fall show around a dance feature or for spring concerts seeking high-energy crowd engagement.
How to get the most out of it
- Keep the pulse absolutely locked between battery and pit. This groove lives or dies on rhythmic precision, so establish your tempo reference early and hold it steady through every section.
- Balance the melodic line across your brass sections rather than letting it concentrate in one voice. The Cascada version succeeds because the hook appears to be everywhere at once.
- Emphasize the kick drum pattern in the pit. It's the engine of this arrangement, and bringing it forward in the mix will give your field the foundation it needs to maintain energy and cohesion.
- Don't rush the syncopated figures. The eurodance groove can feel faster than it actually is. Subdivide carefully in sectionals so the rhythm section owns the pocket before adding layers on top.
How to use it
Drop this into a fall production as your opening number or closer. Its Grade 3 accessibility means you can begin rehearsals immediately while rotating other repertoire into your schedule. The track's infectious nature also makes it a natural anchor for a full dance feature, giving your visual team a rock-solid musical foundation to build movement around.
