Contemporary Marching Band - Grade 3-4
With a driving pulse and '80s retro style, this smash hit by The Weeknd is perfect in the stands or on the field. Low brass are featured in the beginning, followed by the full band, and finally an option for a loud or soft ending.

"Dad, why is my sister called Rose?"
Matt Conaway: "Because your mother loves roses."
"Thanks, dad!"
Matt Conaway: "You're welcome, Mellophone."
