Treasure: Concert Band Conductor Score & Parts

Victor López's arrangement captures the infectious groove and contemporary energy of the original while keeping the chart entirely accessible for Grade 3 bands. Your students will recognize the song immediately, and the disco soul foundation gives them clear rhythmic and harmonic anchors to lock onto. Programming a current Billboard hit at this level builds genuine excitement on the podium and in the audience.

Immediate, joyful, and groove-centered. The disco soul foundation gives it a warm, dancing quality, while the contemporary pop sensibility keeps it fresh and radio-friendly. Audiences recognize the song in the first four bars.

Bands looking to program repertoire their students already know and love. Grade 3 ensembles with solid section balance and independent rhythmic reading will bring this chart to life most effectively.

• Lock the groove in your rhythm section first. The disco soul beat is the heartbeat of this chart; get your percussion, low brass, and low reeds unified on the pocket before layering in the melodic voices.
• Lean into the Latin ornaments without overcomplicating them. López has written them to sit naturally in the score; players should feel the seasoning rather than fight it.
• Balance the tutti passages so the brass sits back and lets the saxes and upper woodwinds carry the hook. The original's signature sound lives in those upper voices.
• Keep the tempo steady and confident. At 3:15, this chart moves quickly; rehearse with a recording so players internalize the original's pocket.

This works perfectly as a pop-focused concert closer or as part of a contemporary music set that showcases your band's range beyond standard classical and march repertoire. The 3:15 runtime fits easily into most concert slots without dominating a program, and its recognizable hook makes it an ideal audience engagement piece.

• Reading and executing contemporary rhythmic grooves and syncopation patterns
• Balancing melody and accompaniment texture in funk and disco contexts
• Playing Latin ornaments and articulation with stylistic accuracy
• Maintaining steady tempo and pocket in a groove-based arrangement
