More about this title

About the Composer: Paul Stanley

Paul Stanley co-founded KISS in 1973 and has been the band's primary songwriter and frontman throughout their four-decade career. As a composer, Stanley crafted some of rock music's most recognizable hooks and anthems, blending accessible melodies with arena-ready production that made KISS a staple of popular culture and music education repertoire.

Why we love this

This arrangement captures the swagger and drive of one of KISS's signature songs while staying true to the marching band idiom. Jerry Burns has created a chart that sounds fuller and more impressive than its 1.5 grade level suggests, giving younger or developing bands immediate success and confidence without weeks of drilling.

What to expect

Pure rock energy delivered in marching formation. The arrangement maintains KISS's signature bombast and attitude while keeping the musical demands accessible, creating a performance that feels both authentic to the source material and genuinely fun for young musicians to play.

Who it's for

Marching bands at the 1.5 grade level that want crowd-friendly, recognizable music without investing weeks in preparation. This works equally well for developing ensembles building confidence and for experienced groups looking for a sure-fire closer or exhibition piece that audiences will instantly connect with.

How to get the most out of it

  • Build the groove from the ground up: lock the battery and low brass into the main riff before layering melody, so the forward momentum stays solid even as parts drop in and out.
  • Lean into the rock articulation; this isn't a concert march. Tonguing should be crisp and rhythmic, with slight space between notes to let the rock attitude breathe.
  • Balance the lead voices against the countermelody; since both are memorable, make sure they're in dialogue rather than fighting for attention.
  • Keep tempo steady and energetic. This tune lives on forward motion, so resist the temptation to drag or overemphasize the shuffle feel.

How to use it

Schedule this as a late-season closer or exhibition opener when you want immediate audience engagement and student confidence. Its quick turnaround time makes it ideal for mid-season additions or for filling a program slot when other pieces need extra rehearsal.

Skills your students will build

  • Rock groove and rhythmic precision in a marching context
  • Balancing melody and countermelody within the same ensemble
  • Articulation and phrasing appropriate to popular music
  • Quick repertoire turnover and efficient sectional rehearsal
