More about this title

Why we love this

Michael Story's arrangement captures the infectious energy of this early 60s hit without overwhelming young players. The writing sits comfortably in beginner ranges while maintaining the groove that made the tune a chart-topper, and at just two minutes, it's short enough to nail in rehearsal but memorable enough to land with an audience.

What to expect

Upbeat and playful, with a classic rock groove that feels both retro and timeless. The energy is bright and propulsive without ever feeling heavy or complex.

Who it's for

Beginning concert bands ready to move beyond educational material into recognizable repertoire. This works especially well for groups that respond to modern contexts and benefit from the motivational boost of performing something audiences actually know.

How to get the most out of it

  • Keep the rhythmic pocket steady and grounded; the infectious quality of this tune lives in consistent, clean rhythm section articulation rather than rushing.
  • Balance the melody line so it lands clearly without overshadowing the supporting voices that drive the energy forward.
  • Use the two-minute runtime as an asset. Tighten the arrangement in rehearsals so every section hits with precision and leaves a strong impression.

How to use it

Program this as a high-energy closer on a spring concert, or pair it with other pop/rock selections to create a themed set that showcases your band's versatility. It's also an excellent choice early in the season when you want to build confidence and excitement around what the ensemble can accomplish together.

Skills your students will build
