More about this title

About the Composer: Katy Perry

Katy Perry emerged as one of pop music's defining voices in the 2010s, crafting anthemic songs that balance infectious hooks with genuine emotional resonance. Her songwriting collaborations with Max Martin and Klas Ahlund produced some of the decade's most enduring pop hits, tracks that achieved massive commercial success while maintaining strong melodic and rhythmic foundations ideal for ensemble arrangement.

Why we love this

Roland Barrett's arrangement captures the infectious energy of the original without losing the accessibility that makes it perfect for Grade 3 bands. The scoring gives every section meaningful material, so your ensemble will sound polished and confident from the downbeat, which matters enormously when programming contemporary pop that audiences actually know and love.

What to expect

High-energy and immediate, with the kind of syncopated rhythmic drive that makes audiences want to move. The arrangement maintains the original's celebratory spirit while giving marching musicians the satisfaction of executing clean articulation and crisp ensemble work on a song that feels rewarding to play.

Who it's for

Marching bands at the Grade 3 level looking to program contemporary hits that connect with audiences and students alike. This arrangement works equally well for concert or field performance contexts where you want to showcase the band's musicality with material that feels current and engaging.

How to get the most out of it

Lock the backbeat with your battery and low brass to establish the groove that defines the piece; this pocket is what makes the arrangement dance.
Shape phrases with dynamic contour rather than playing at a single level throughout; the catchy melody needs space to breathe and land.
Balance the melodic voices against the harmonic foundation so the brass section doesn't overshadow important countermelodies in the woodwinds.

How to use it

Program this alongside more traditional concert fare to demonstrate your band's range and versatility, or use it as a stand-alone closer that sends audiences out with momentum. The 1:35 length makes it ideal for spring concerts or field competitions where contemporary pop arrangements show off both musicianship and relevance.
