More about this title
About the Composer: Mick Jagger
Mick Jagger has been one of rock music's most iconic frontmen and songwriters since the early 1960s. As the lead vocalist and primary lyricist of The Rolling Stones, Jagger shaped the sound of popular music across multiple decades, working closely with guitarist Keith Richards to create some of the most enduring rock compositions ever written.
For music educators, Jagger's work represents a bridge between classical song structure and rock authenticity. His melodies and rhythmic sensibilities have proven durable enough to arrange across nearly every instrumental ensemble, making his compositions valuable teaching tools for introducing students to popular music literacy.
Why we love this
This arrangement captures exactly what makes the original so infectious—that relentless, driving energy—without overwhelming your marching band. Victor López and Anthony M. Falcone have kept the iconic riff front and center while distributing the parts accessibly across your section, so even Grade 2-3 students feel the swagger of the tune.
What to expect
Pure kinetic energy. From the first note, this arrangement pulls you forward with an undeniable pulse that refuses to let up. It's the feeling of a stadium crowd rising to its feet—attitude, urgency, and groove all working together.
Who it's for
Marching bands with students in the Grade 2-3 range who want to program contemporary rock music without oversimplifying. This works especially well for pep band concerts, pregame appearances, or indoor competitive shows looking to balance accessibility with genuine musical content.
How to get the most out of it
- Lock the snare and bass drum together on that signature rhythm throughout. The groove lives or dies in the precision of your rhythm section, so isolate and drill that foundation early.
- Keep the horns tight on the main riff. Rhythmic clarity here is more important than dynamic punch; let the articulation do the work.
- Build intensity gradually through the arrangement rather than starting at full volume. This tune is all about momentum, so save your peak for the final push.
- Don't let the rock feel become sloppy. Straight eighths and crisp attacks keep this professional-sounding, even at the slower tempos some groups will choose.
How to use it
Program this as an opener to establish excitement early in a concert, or save it for the closer where its relentless momentum sends the audience out energized. It pairs well alongside other rock and contemporary pops arrangements, and it's particularly effective in pep band rotations where you need immediate audience engagement.
Skills your students will build
- Reading and executing syncopated rhythms in rock style
- Maintaining steady pulse while playing repeated riff patterns
- Balancing individual part clarity within an ensemble texture
- Interpreting dynamic contrast and building intensity across a form
- Articulation consistency in medium-tempo rock grooves
