More about this title
About the Artist: Shawn Mendes Camila Cabello
Shawn Mendes emerged as a singer-songwriter in the mid-2010s, building a global fanbase through pop sensibility and accessible melodies that work across age groups and skill levels. Camila Cabello, known for her work with Fifth Harmony before launching a solo career, brings rhythmic sophistication and cross-genre appeal to her collaborations. Together, their music has proven remarkably adaptable to ensemble arrangements, making their catalog a natural fit for educational settings seeking contemporary material with genuine musical substance.
Why we love this
This arrangement captures everything students want to play: a groove that feels current, Latin percussion color that's exciting but not overwhelming, and melodies that stick with audiences. Brown and Carmenates have scaled the instrumentation intelligently so a 2-3 grade band can sound sophisticated without drowning in complexity.
What to expect
Warm, rhythmically alive, and undeniably modern. The Latin groove and medium tempo create space for musicality rather than flash, inviting players to feel the pocket and discover that groove is something you inhabit, not just play.
Who it's for
Marching bands at grades 2-3 looking for repertoire that energizes both performers and audiences without requiring advanced technique. This works equally well for concert programs seeking a contemporary pop arrangement that students will care about.
How to get the most out of it
- Lock the Latin groove early in rehearsal by having rhythm section and percussion play together before bringing in the full band. The pocket is everything here.
- Shape the dynamics underneath the melody lines so the soloists and featured voices stand out. Restraint from the lower voices makes the difference between muddy and magnetic.
- Capture the sultry character in the phrasing by avoiding a march-like stiffness. Let the band breathe with the melody even in the stands.
- Emphasize the clave rhythm in percussion; it's the heartbeat that holds the Latin feel stable across the entire arrangement.
How to use it
Reserve this for moments when you want to shift energy and remind audiences that marching band repertoire includes the music students actually listen to. It pairs naturally with opener-closer programming or as a featured segment in a stand performance that mixes styles.
