More about this title
About the Composer: Chuck Mangione
Chuck Mangione is an American flugelhorn player and composer known for blending jazz, funk, and pop sensibilities into accessible, highly melodic works. His career spanning several decades has made him a distinctive voice in contemporary instrumental music, with compositions that appeal equally to jazz musicians and mainstream audiences.
Why we love this
Victor López and Anthony M. Falcone have crafted an arrangement that translates Mangione's infectious groove into a format that marching bands can perform with real impact. The combination of a prominent trumpet solo, syncopated rhythms, and a relentless forward momentum gives your ensemble a crowd-pleasing showstopper that sits comfortably at Grade 4 without sacrificing musicality or style.
What to expect
Energetic, funky, and undeniably cool. The piece locks into a groove that feels modern and urban, with enough rhythmic spice to keep the audience engaged from the opening notes. There's a swagger to the writing that invites musicians to perform with confidence and attitude.
Who it's for
Advanced marching bands looking for contemporary material with instant audience recognition and a strong solo feature. Directors who want to showcase a lead trumpet player while keeping the overall Grade 4 difficulty accessible to the full ensemble.
How to get the most out of it
- Balance the trumpet soloist against the ensemble; the solo should cut through clearly, but the rhythm section and harmonic support underneath need to drive hard enough to carry the piece forward.
- Lock the snare line and bass drum together on the hip rhythms that define this piece; precision in the low end will anchor the entire performance.
- Shape the phrasing within the solo section with dynamic support from the ensemble; let the trumpet breathe, then swell back in to maintain momentum.
- Maintain the driving pulse throughout without rushing; the groove relies on deliberate conviction, not speed.
How to use it
Slot this into a program where you need a high-energy contemporary piece that breaks up a sequence of classical or traditional marching band fare. It works especially well as a closing number or a featured mid-show moment when you want to shift the emotional temperature and leave audiences energized.
