More about this title

Why we love this

A mash-up of this caliber lets you showcase your best soloists while keeping the entire band engaged and entertained. The arrangement respects what made both songs iconic on the radio, then reimagines them as a unified concert statement that audiences recognize instantly and enjoy without reservation.

What to expect

Infectious and driven, with the immediate melodic pull of two globally recognized songs. The arrangement captures the joy of recognition and the thrill of hearing familiar music transformed into something fresh, creating genuine excitement on both sides of the footlights.

Who it's for

Concert bands at the Grade 3 level with strong soloists in trumpet and trombone sections. This arrangement works equally well for bands looking to diversify their repertoire with contemporary pop or for programs seeking an audience-friendly closer that celebrates student musicianship.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the trumpet and trombone solos carefully in rehearsal; these voices drive the arrangement, so they need clarity without drowning the harmonic foundation beneath them.
  • Pay close attention to the transitions between song sections. The seams where 'Forget You' and 'Don't Stop Believin'' connect are the moment the arrangement becomes truly exciting, so mark those moments clearly in parts and conduct them with confidence.
  • Lean into the rhythmic precision of the pop idiom. Concert band players often default to classical phrasing; this piece asks for tighter, more syncopated articulation and a forward-moving pulse that brings the radio hit energy to life.

How to use it

Perfect as a finale or penultimate selection on a concert where you want to leave audiences smiling. The familiarity and forward momentum also make it an excellent choice for pops concerts, community band concerts, or any program aiming to bridge the gap between what students play in rehearsal and what families love to hear.

Skills your students will build

  • Balancing solo voices within full band texture
  • Maintaining rhythmic precision in syncopated pop idioms
  • Executing smooth transitions between contrasting sections
  • Shaping melodic lines with contemporary phrasing and articulation
