About the Arranger: Mike Story
Mike Story is an arranger known for bringing popular and contemporary music to marching ensembles and concert bands. His arrangements prioritize accessibility without sacrificing energy, making stadium-ready repertoire available to programs across all competitive levels.
Why we love this
This arrangement captures the driving, celebratory momentum of the source material and translates it perfectly for marching ensemble capabilities. The optional flute solo gives you flexibility in how to showcase your front ensemble, while the gradual buildup keeps audiences engaged without overwhelming younger or less experienced sections.
What to expect
Propulsive and celebratory, with a dance-like swagger that feels immediately engaging. The piece builds from intimate to expansive, starting with a single voice and gradually inviting more and more players into the groove until the entire band is locked together in one driving machine.
Who it's for
Marching programs at all competitive levels, from smaller ensembles just entering the activity to larger groups looking for a crowd-pleasing secondary feature. The Grade 2 difficulty level means less experienced players can contribute meaningfully without compromising the visual and sonic impact on the field.
How to get the most out of it
- Lock the snare line into a consistent groove during the opening flute solo section; they set the rhythmic foundation that everything else locks into.
- Balance the optional flute soli carefully so it can be heard over the building ensemble; consider mic placement or seating adjustments if your band is large.
- Mark where each section enters in your score and conduct those entrance points with clear, deliberate gestures to maintain the piece's infectious momentum.
- Rehearse the transition points between dynamic levels separately; the gradual buildup only works if sections make clean handoffs of the main material.
How to use it
Program this as a secondary feature or opener that contrasts with a more lyrical or technical centerpiece. At just over two minutes, it works well as a momentum builder early in your show or as a high-energy encore closer.
Skills your students will build
