More about this title
About the Composer: Mick Jagger
Mick Jagger cofounded The Rolling Stones in 1962 and has spent six decades defining rock and roll performance. His songwriting, developed alongside Keith Richards, blends blues, country, and rock into anthems that remain instantly recognizable across generations. For music educators, Jagger's catalog offers accessible entry points into rock history and contemporary repertoire that engages students who might not connect with traditional concert music.
Why we love this
Jerry Burns has stripped this iconic riff down to its essential groove without sacrificing the swagger that makes the original unmistakable. At Grade 1.5, the arrangement lets young marchers focus on precision and attitude rather than technical complexity, making it ideal for halftime shows and pep band gigs where crowd recognition matters as much as musical execution. The result is a chart that sounds confident and mature on the field, even with developing musicians.
What to expect
Lean and confident. The familiar riff sits comfortably in the upper voices while the low brass anchors a groove that feels effortless when locked in. There is an undeniable rock edge to the articulation and phrasing, even stripped to its simplest form; this is not a march, and it should not sound like one.
Who it's for
Directors fielding young or developing ensembles who need a high-impact rock selection without arranging around technical limitations. Marching bands and pep bands at the middle school and early high school level will find a chart that demands precision and style without pushing players beyond Grade 1.5 reading ability.
How to get the most out of it
- Keep the signature riff tight and uniform across the section that carries it. Lock the rhythm section into a pocket groove; any looseness in the snare line will undermine the song's backbone.
- Shape the dynamic arc subtly rather than with sudden jumps. This song thrives on swagger, not volume, so let restraint serve the arrangement.
- Emphasize the front ensemble's role in supporting the melody. Even at this level, clean staccato articulation elevates the whole sound.
- Rehearse the transitions between section breaks methodically. The chart's simplicity means every ensemble needs to execute them together or they will expose soft spots.
How to use it
Program this as a halftime centerpiece or opener for a pep band concert where accessibility and crowd response matter equally. It pairs well alongside other easy rock standards in a set that introduces developing musicians to the energy and attitude of contemporary music. The Grade 1.5 accessibility also makes it useful as a mid-season morale builder or festival selection when you need something immediately gratifying for the ensemble.
Skills your students will build

- Executing clean articulation changes between staccato and legato passages
- Balancing individual voice leading within a homophonic texture
- Responding to stylistic cues that differ from traditional band repertoire
- Executing precise section breaks and transitions at moderate tempos
