More about this title

About the Composer: Katy Perry

Katy Perry emerged as a defining pop voice of the 2010s, known for crafting infectious hooks and high-energy anthems that dominate radio and streaming. Her songwriting collaborations with producers like Max Martin and Dr. Luke shaped some of the decade's most recognizable pop hits, blending accessible melodies with polished production.

Perry's catalog offers marching band arrangers plenty of source material built on strong melodic lines, clear song structure, and audience recognition. Her tracks work well in educational settings because they feature repetitive, memorable hooks that students can lock onto quickly and audiences connect with immediately.

Why we love this

Doug Adams has a gift for translating pop hits into marching band gold without losing what made the original catchy. The arrangement respects the Grade 2 level while keeping the energy and fun factor intact, and the shout section gives the ensemble a moment to cut loose. You'll find this lands well with students who grew up on pop radio and with audiences who instantly recognize the tune.

What to expect

Bright, celebratory, and built for movement. The arrangement captures the song's party-ready energy, with layered harmonies that give every section something fun to play and a shout section that invites the full ensemble into the fun.

Who it's for

Marching bands seeking contemporary repertoire that connects with students and audiences alike. This Grade 2 arrangement works for competitive circuits, football halftime shows, and community performances where pop appeal matters as much as musicianship.

How to get the most out of it

  • Keep the tempo steady and groove-oriented throughout. This song thrives on pocket rhythm, so lock in metronomically during rehearsals and avoid the temptation to rush the drive.
  • Shape the shout section with clear articulation and dynamic contrast. Those moments feel biggest when every voice hits together with intention rather than as an afterthought.
  • Balance the melody line so it sits clearly over the harmonic foundation. With multiple sections supporting the tune, the leads need definition to keep the song's hook front and center.
  • Lean into the pop sensibility with your articulation choices. Light, modern tonguing will feel more authentic to the genre than a classical approach.

How to use it

Perfect as a closer on a fall show or halftime program where you want to leave crowds with something current and upbeat. Pair it with other pop charts for a themed set, or use it as a crowd favorite that bookends a set of more challenging literature.

Skills your students will build

  • Articulation control in pop/commercial style
  • Rhythmic accuracy in groove-based sections
  • Dynamic balance between melody and accompaniment
  • Section unity in syncopated passage work
  • Stylistic interpretation of contemporary music
