Why we love this

Standridge captures the energy of rock music without relying on licensed songs or watered-down arrangements. The writing gives drummers a genuine moment to shine with percussion that drives the piece forward, not just fills time. Your students will practice harder for this one.

What to expect

The energy is immediate and propulsive. Hard-hitting rhythms and edgy harmonies create tension and excitement, while the percussion writing keeps things moving with swagger and attitude. Your band will feel like they're performing something with real contemporary edge.

Who it's for

Grade 1 and 2 concert bands looking for repertoire that connects with today's students. This works especially well for ensembles that want to program something contemporary without sacrificing musical substance.

How to get the most out of it

Lock the rhythm section's feel first. The hard-hitting rhythms need precision and swagger; have your percussion and low brass internalize the groove before layering in harmony.
Balance the metallic instruments so they color the sound without overwhelming it. They're there to add edge and character, not to dominate the texture.
Lean into the edgy harmonies. They're intentional choices that define the piece's character, not mistakes to smooth over.

How to use it

Program this for a concert slot where you want to shift the energy and keep audience attention. It pairs well alongside traditional concert repertoire as a statement that young musicians play music that matters to them. The percussion showcase also gives you a natural opportunity to feature your developing rhythm section.
