More about this title
About the Composer: Nicholas Jonas
Nicholas Jonas is a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter who gained recognition as a member of the Jonas Brothers, one of the most successful pop groups of the 2000s and 2010s. Beyond his work as a performer and recording artist, Jonas has composed and arranged music across multiple genres, bringing pop sensibility and contemporary songwriting to projects across different mediums. His compositions reflect a deep understanding of what engages modern audiences while maintaining strong musical structure.
Why we love this
Michael Brown's arrangement captures all the energy and hooks of the original recording while building it specifically for marching band instrumentation and visual design. The stop-time sections give your front ensemble and battery real dramatic moments to execute, and the Grade 2-3 level means you're not sacrificing musicality for accessibility. Crowds respond immediately to music they recognize, and this one delivers.
What to expect
Immediate and infectious. The driving pulse grabs attention from the first measure, building momentum through the verse before the chorus arrives with full force. Those stop-time hits create dramatic punctuation that lets the ensemble breathe and reset before the energy surges again.
Who it's for
Bands at the Grade 2-3 level looking to program contemporary pop music that actually excites student performers and audiences alike. This works whether you're building a halftime show around current hits or adding variety to a concert program that leans heavily on traditional band repertoire.
How to get the most out of it
- Establish the pulse early in rehearsal by isolating the rhythm section's foundation. The driving quality of this chart depends entirely on locked eighth-note subdivision.
- Treat the stop-time sections as staging opportunities rather than just musical breaks. Your visual designers will thank you once they see how naturally those moments invite formation changes and feature moments.
- Balance the chorus dynamics carefully; the arrangement likely stacks voices to build intensity, so clarify which parts carry the melody and which provide harmonic support so nothing gets buried.
- Record a reference tempo with click track and share it with your section leaders before the first read-through. Popular music arrangements often sit in a sweet spot that feels effortless at one tempo and sluggish at another.
How to use it
Slot this into a pop or contemporary showcase within your concert, or build a halftime show around it and 2-3 similar-era charts to create a cohesive set. The Grade 2-3 scoring also makes it an excellent early-season confidence builder while you're establishing fundamentals with newer or younger players.
Skills your students will build
- Executing precise stop-time rhythms and cutoffs
- Maintaining consistent pulse under driving eighth-note patterns
- Balancing harmonic texture in pop-style voicings
- Performing with stylistic interpretation rooted in contemporary music
