More about this title

About the Arranger: Jerry Burns

Jerry Burns built his reputation as an arranger who understands what marching bands need: accessible writing that doesn't sacrifice musicality, and charts that function reliably across different skill levels. His work in the Powerplay series reflects decades of experience translating familiar material into arrangements that engage both performers and audiences.

Why we love this

This folio strips away the guesswork about what to include in your marching season. You get 14 proven arrangements, everything from comedic crowd-pleasers like The Hokey Pokey to sophisticated swing standards like Jumpin' at the Woodside, all scaled for the realities of a working band. The tenor sax and bari book sits right in the sweet spot where these instruments carry melody without excessive range demands.

What to expect

Energetic and accessible. These arrangements move quickly between moods, from the polished stride of The Victors to the goofy charm of The Hokey Pokey to the smooth sophistication of Jumpin' at the Woodside. The tenor/bari voices rarely sit idle, and there's real joy in the writing.

Who it's for

Marching band directors who want consistent, reliable charts for a full season without hunting through multiple publishers. Tenor and bari players benefit from the range and style variety here, which keeps them engaged across comedy tunes, standards, patriotic material, and pop.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the weight of Colonel Bogey's opening statement with the lower voices; let the melody sing cleanly above without competing for air.
  • Keep the rhythm section tight on Service Songs, where precision matters more than volume. These arrangements sit close together, so lock in early.
  • Lean into the swagger of I Get Around and Proud Mary. These aren't straight readings; the swing and attitude are built into the articulation and phrasing.
  • Use Air Conditioning strategically as a full-band warm-up before major rehearsals. It's designed for that, so treat it as pedagogy first, performance second.

How to use it

Load this into your festival rotation or halftime lineup to cover ground fast. You have enough variety to pull selections for pep rallies, parades, and concerts without reaching for three different books. The warm-up included also makes this useful as a curricular resource for fundamentals.

Skills your students will build

  • Playing in and against swing rhythms
  • Stylistic clarity across comedy, jazz, march, and pop idioms
  • Reading and executing articulation changes quickly between contrasting arrangements
  • Tone production over a wide dynamic range across short-form charts
