More about this title

About the Composer: Jerry Ragovoy

Jerry Ragovoy was a prolific songwriter and producer who shaped the soul and R&B landscape of the 1960s. His composition "Time Is on My Side" became a standard of the era, recorded by countless artists and cementing his influence on popular music across genres.

Why we love this

Ralph Ford's arrangement captures the groove and attitude of these Stones classics while keeping the parts accessible for Grade 3 ensembles. Pairing two iconic tracks in a single package gives your program immediate rock credibility and satisfying contrast between the soulful swagger of "Time Is on My Side" and the driving energy of "Satisfaction."

What to expect

These arrangements bring the swagger and soul of the Rolling Stones to the field. "Time Is on My Side" opens with intimate grooveand builds momentum; "Satisfaction" kicks in with the driving, attitude-laden riff that defined a generation. Together they create a program segment that feels both classic and immediately recognizable.

Who it's for

Directors looking to program recognizable rock material that connects with audiences while keeping the technical demands manageable for a growing ensemble. This works especially well for programs that pair marching charts with drill design packages, allowing you to present a fully realized show concept.

How to get the most out of it

  • Lock the backbeat in your rhythm section from day one. The pocket that drives both pieces lives in the snare and bass drum coordination, so isolate and rehearse those parts together before adding melody.
  • Shape the intro of "Time Is on My Side" with restraint. Let the tension build gradually rather than coming in too hot; the arrangement pays off when the full band enters.
  • Keep the pulse steady and slightly laid-back during "Satisfaction." This isn't a march; let the ensemble breathe with the groove rather than march through it mechanically.
  • Balance the horn section carefully in both pieces. These arrangements rely on clean, unified voicing to project the melodies across the field.

How to use it

Use these as a closing statement in a program built around 1960s rock, or pair them with the third Stones chart mentioned in the description to create a multi-piece segment that showcases different sides of the band's catalog. The 1:40 combined duration fits well as a show closer or transition piece.

Skills your students will build

  • Locking rhythms across section lines in a groove-based context
  • Maintaining steady tempo and pocket feel without march mechanics
  • Balancing melody and rhythm section in popular music styles
  • Reading and executing syncopated rhythmic patterns in rock idiom
