More about this title
About the Composer: Robert Clivilles
Robert Clivilles, along with collaborator Freedom Williams, created one of the defining dance-rock anthems of the late 1980s. As a producer and songwriter, Clivilles helped shape the sound of electronic dance music's crossover into mainstream pop, blending infectious rhythms with high-energy hooks that became staples of radio and dance floors alike.
Why we love this
Victor López's arrangement captures all the infectious energy and momentum of the original without losing the modern, driving edge that makes this tune irresistible. At Grade 3, it sits at the sweet spot where marching bands can execute the syncopated grooves and rhythmic precision the piece demands while maintaining the celebratory, high-octane feel that audiences recognize instantly. This is the kind of chart that energizes both your ensemble and the crowd.
What to expect
High-octane and irresistible. This arrangement channels the unrelenting forward motion and electronic brightness of a dance-floor anthem into the marching band medium. It pulses with excitement and invites the whole crowd to move.
Who it's for
Marching bands looking to program something current, energetic, and immediately recognizable to audiences of all ages. The Grade 3 scoring makes it accessible for competitive circuits and all-class bands while still offering enough rhythmic and textural interest to keep experienced ensembles engaged.
How to get the most out of it
- Lock the kick drum and bass line together first; the foundation of this arrangement relies on that rhythmic precision to feel as urgent and propulsive as the original recording.
- Keep the articulation tight and unified across the full ensemble, especially on the syncopated hits that punctuate the main groove; clarity here makes the difference between sounding polished and sloppy.
- Balance the upper woodwinds and brass so the melodic hooks cut through without overpowering the rhythmic drive; this chart works when every voice serves the overall pulse.
How to use it
This works perfectly as a halftime feature or a closer that leaves the audience energized. Program it alongside classical or traditional selections to demonstrate your band's versatility and contemporary programming sense, or build an entire show around modern pop and rock hits.
