Kill This Love

Sleek and propulsive. The unison writing creates a unified voice that feels larger than the page might suggest, with rhythmic precision driving the energy forward throughout.

Marching bands looking for contemporary repertoire that connects with students without dumbing down the music. Grade 2 ensembles with solid fundamental control will nail this and sound polished in performance.

• Keep the unison passages absolutely synchronized across all parts. Record a section run-through and listen back for any players breaking away from the collective pulse.
• Lean into the driving character; this arrangement thrives on confidence and forward motion rather than delicate phrasing.
• Let the recording guide your tempo, but use it as a reference point rather than a crutch. Your band should drive the piece, not follow along.

Program this as a stadium closer or opener where you want immediate audience recognition paired with clean execution. It also works effectively as a stand-alone feature during a pop-focused concert or as part of a contemporary music set.

• Synchronization across multiple sections using unison writing
• Maintaining steady tempo and rhythmic drive over an extended form
• Balancing precision with stylistic energy in contemporary music
• Ensemble blend and dynamic control in high-unison passages
