More about this title
Why we love this
Chris M. Bernotas has captured all the swagger and radio-friendly hook of the original without overcomplicating the arrangement. At Grade 2.5, your band gets to play a genuine pop hit that audiences actually know and love, which means students experience real performance energy from day one. The infectious groove and straightforward orchestration let musicianship shine through rather than getting bogged down in technical complexity.
What to expect
Confident and playful, with a groove that makes you move. The arrangement captures the original's modern pop-rock swagger while keeping the parts accessible, so your band can deliver polish and personality without needing advanced technique.
Who it's for
Concert bands at the Grade 2 to 2.5 level looking for contemporary, high-energy material that genuinely excites students. Directors who want to program music that connects with audiences and performers alike will find this especially valuable for pops concerts, casual performance series, or festival appearances.
How to get the most out of it
- Lock the groove with your rhythm section first. The pocket here is everything; once your drums, bass, and chord instruments sit tight, the melody line will ride naturally on top.
- Bring out the melodic hook in the woodwinds without letting it overshadow the rhythmic foundation. This arrangement thrives on balance between the catchy tune and the driving beat.
- Lean into the pop sensibility. Straight eighth-note rhythms, crisp articulation on the syncopated figures, and a touch of swagger in the phrasing will make this feel authentic rather than like a classical transcription of a pop song.
- Use dynamics to build momentum through each section. The energy arc here mirrors the recorded version, so shape your climaxes and pull back on the verses to keep the audience engaged.
How to use it
This works beautifully as a closer on a pops concert or as a high-energy contrast piece alongside more traditional repertoire. The 2 minute 20 second duration makes it ideal for festival competitions where you want impact without taking up substantial time, or as an opener to draw the audience in immediately.
Skills your students will build
- Playing syncopated rhythms in a pop/rock idiom
- Maintaining groove and steady eighth-note subdivision
- Balancing melody with rhythmic accompaniment
- Responding to contemporary music style and interpretation
