More about this title

About the Composer: Zachary Barnett

Zachary Barnett is the lead vocalist and primary songwriter of American Authors, the indie pop band behind global hits including "Believer," "Best Day of My Life," and "Shut Up and Dance." His gift for crafting infectious melodies and emotionally resonant lyrics has made American Authors one of the most performed bands in contemporary music education settings.

Why we love this

This arrangement captures everything that makes the original anthemic without sacrificing teachability. The electronic dance beat translates brilliantly to concert band texture, and the Latin elements add harmonic color that keeps both ensemble and audience engaged throughout. Grade 2 difficulty means your students can focus on delivering the energy and attitude the piece demands rather than fighting technical complexity.

What to expect

Bright, propulsive, and unapologetically fun. The electronic dance beat provides an irresistible forward momentum while Latin percussion colors add warmth and sophistication beneath the pop sensibility. From the first measure, this piece signals celebration and joy.

Who it's for

Concert bands at the middle school and early high school levels will thrive with this piece. It engages students who gravitate toward contemporary music and gives audiences an immediate emotional connection. Directors looking for repertoire that bridges classical concert settings and popular culture will find this arrangement hits that mark precisely.

How to get the most out of it

  • Lock in the rhythmic pocket early. The groove matters more than note-perfect execution; have your students feel the beat rather than just play it.
  • Balance the dance beat foundation with the melodic lines. The percussion and lower brass establish the pulse, but soloists need room to breathe and shine.
  • Emphasize the Latin-flavored sections with slight rhythmic flexibility in the phrasing. These moments give the arrangement its personality.
  • Build dynamics intentionally toward climactic moments. The energy arc determines whether the audience leaves energized or exhausted.

How to use it

Program this as a first-half closer or early second-half opener to inject energy into a concert and reset audience attention. It pairs naturally with other pop or contemporary arrangements, or you might use it as a statement piece that shows your band's stylistic range alongside more traditional concert band literature.

Skills your students will build

  • Maintaining steady pulse in contemporary rhythmic contexts
  • Balancing precision with groove-based playing
  • Reading parts within a dense harmonic texture
  • Shaping phrases in pop idioms
  • Executing Latin percussion and rhythmic figures
  • Responding to conductor cues in high-energy settings
