I Just Might: 3-Part Mixed Choral Octavo

Alan Billingsley's arrangement captures the funk-driven groove and modern swagger of the original without losing singability across three parts. The arrangement balances accessibility with enough rhythmic sophistication to keep your singers engaged, and the retro-modern energy practically guarantees this will be a crowd favorite whether you stage it as a full production number or keep it grounded in the risers.

Smooth, confident, and impossible to sit still for. The arrangement radiates a retro-modern coolness that feels both timeless and right-now, with a tight rhythmic pocket that invites movement whether you choreograph it or not. Your singers will feel the suave energy of the original track translated into voices.

Any choir director seeking a contemporary pop selection with genuine funk energy and three-part singability. This works equally well for advanced middle school choirs, high school show choirs, and community college ensembles looking to add a modern showstopper to their repertoire.

• Lock the rhythm section's pulse from the start. The bassline and kick pattern are the spine of this arrangement, so even if you're performing without the recorded accompaniment, your vocal percussion or lower voices need to establish that tight groove immediately.
• Shape the phrasing around the lyrical conversational moments rather than treating every phrase identically. The lead vocal in the original has personality and pause; encourage your singers to honor the character of the tune.
• Find the sweet spot with dynamic contrast between verse and chorus sections. This arrangement lives in a medium-to-bright energy zone, so resist the urge to overload the volume; let the harmonic changes and rhythmic tightness do the work.
• Work the recorded accompaniment early and often during rehearsals. It will anchor your singers' sense of the groove far better than a piano reduction, especially if you plan to perform with choreography.

This is your spring concert finale or homecoming showcase moment. Program it after a contrasting ballad or classical selection to let the funk energy hit fresh, or pair it with other contemporary pop arrangements in a dedicated set that closes the show on a high-energy note.

• Funk rhythm reading and syncopated entrances
• Maintaining steady pulse within a grooved arrangement
• Part independence while singing moving harmonic lines
• Stylistic control of contemporary vocal inflection
• Ensemble blend across three distinct parts in a pop context
