About the Arranger: Mike Story
Mike Story has established himself as a trusted arranger for marching arts ensembles, consistently delivering accessible, musically satisfying arrangements that work across ability levels. His work in the Big and Easy series reflects a keen understanding of what directors need: pieces that sound polished without requiring virtuosic technique, allowing students to focus on ensemble cohesion, visual impact, and the pure joy of performance.
Why we love this
Story's arrangement captures the iconic swagger of Elmer Bernstein's theme in a way that sits perfectly at Grade 2, with a tight form that respects the demands of a halftime show. The orchestration lets every section shine without overcomplicating parts, and at 1:40, it has the punch and presence of a full feature without stealing rehearsal time from visual elements.
What to expect
Dust, swagger, and straight-ahead confidence. The Magnificent Seven theme carries an undeniable swagger rooted in western film tradition, and this arrangement delivers that same sense of forward motion and heroic simplicity. Students play a genuine musical idea, not a simplified version of one.
Who it's for
This arrangement serves Grade 2 marching bands ready to program recognizable, high-impact music without the technical burden of more complex voicings. It works equally well for bands with limited instrumentation or those building fundamentals while maintaining audience engagement.
How to get the most out of it
- Plant the rhythmic foundation in the percussion section first. The theme's momentum depends on confident, locked articulation in the drum line and bass section; once that locks, the winds will sit on top naturally.
- Balance the melody between your lead voices and inner harmony. This arrangement spreads the iconic theme across multiple instruments, so mark which section carries the tune at each phrase and rehearse those entrances as a unit.
- Shape the dynamics with the storyline of the western theme in mind. Let the opening build from statements of power, pull back at the bridge if one exists, and finish with unmistakable authority.
How to use it
Program this as your halftime opener to anchor the show with immediately recognizable material. The compact 1:40 length pairs well with a visual package built around classic western storytelling, giving your choreography clear narrative ground while keeping halftime within realistic time constraints.
Skills your students will build
- Playing with section rhythmic unity at moderate tempos
- Balancing ensemble blend when melody is distributed across multiple instruments
- Maintaining stylistic character and articulation within a popular music idiom
- Executing confident, clean transitions between phrases and sections
