More about this title
About the Composer: Philip Lawrence
Philip Lawrence is a songwriter and producer who has shaped the sound of contemporary pop music through his work with major recording artists. His collaborative approach to songwriting has resulted in numerous chart-topping hits that blend infectious grooves with memorable melodic hooks.
Why we love this
Brian Scott's arrangement captures the irresistible groove of the original while keeping the orchestration accessible for Grade 3 bands. The disco-pop sensibility translates beautifully to marching band instrumentation, and the 2:05 duration keeps energy high without demanding excessive endurance from younger ensembles. Directors will appreciate how this chart works equally well in a concert setting or as a standout feature for drill and dance teams.
What to expect
Infectious and danceable, this chart sparkles with the shimmer and syncopation of classic disco-pop. The arrangement delivers forward momentum and joy, with enough harmonic color to keep the band engaged across the full playing time.
Who it's for
This arrangement works for Grade 3 marching bands seeking contemporary repertoire with crossover appeal. It engages students who respond to current pop music while remaining technically achievable for developing ensembles.
How to get the most out of it
- Lock the rhythm section into a tight pocket from the opening. The groove depends on precision from drums, bass, and low brass working as a unified unit.
- Balance the upper woodwinds and brass lines carefully during the syncopated passages so the horn riffs cut through without drowning out ensemble harmony.
- Emphasize the funk feel by encouraging a slightly laid-back approach to the backbeat rather than playing strictly on top of the click.
- Bring out the counter-melodies in the lower voices; they add harmonic interest and prevent the tune from sounding one-dimensional across the full arrangement.
How to use it
Program this as a high-energy showcase piece on a concert featuring a mix of pop and traditional fare, or feature it as part of a marching show that celebrates contemporary music. The recognizable melody and groove make it an accessible entry point for audiences less familiar with concert band repertoire.
Skills your students will build
- Funky syncopation and rhythmic precision in pop idioms
- Balancing independent lines within a groove-based arrangement
- Executing articulation and phrasing that serves funk and disco styles
