Livin' on a Prayer arranged by Paul Murtha

[@AfronNinja96]

My band played this my senior year when I was drum major, I would always get one of the other majors to conduct so I can sing to this

[@michaelwooddell4315]

I loved playing this song. I always looked forward to the key change. Everyone would stand up and sing along when we played this.

[@webduelist]

It’s interesting on guitar as well

[@chloepenrod3142]

My school played this song for marching season last year and it was so fun. People started singing along and dancing including the marching band judges. It was the best song to end my 8th grade marching year.

[@jacksonwilkes665]

We did this as our closer last year.

[@bwilliams463]

I played this arrangement on tuba in a community band; blasting that bass line was EPIC.

[@marthaalsip6966]

I love this song, it was originally written for the Notre Dame Band, but now it's being played by everyone. Can't get enough of Bon Jovi.

[@TheRealJohnStephenson]

I mostly play percussion now but when I played trumpet I remember some notes literally busting my lips into looking like two red chili’s under my nose. Oh and don’t forget that red circle in the middle of the mouth as well imprinted by that weapon of brass destruction. But when you pull it off it sounds really cool! Pains for the gains!

[@BryceRosenwald]

Song: is in Db Publisher: nah man let's make the key sig Ab and just add flats to all the Gs.

[@andylopez0731]

the song isn't in Db. it's in G major, or E minor, until the 3/4 measure when it transitions into a different key

[@Jeremiah_Rivers76]

@@andylopez0731 I think that's the original recording's key. For this version, the original key is B-Flat Minor; they just forgot to put a G-Flat as part of the key signature. When they go up to C-Minor, they do the same thing with the A-Flats. Adding insult to injury, they forgot to add G-Flats to their arrangement of "Pour Some Sugar on Me," from Def Leppard's _Hysteria_ album.

[@Tyler-yn4bi]

I am using this piece for drum major tryouts and needed to know how many cues are in this entire song

[@crazygermn]

+Tyler That's a personal decision you're going to have to make for yourself. Some people only cue important entrances and focus on dynamic form and emotional interpretation. Some people will stick with a cue and subdivide the line with the players for a few bars, especially in measures with triplet or syncopated rhytms.

[@Tyler-yn4bi]

+oncemoreuntothebreach. ok thanks for replying to me

[@crazygermn]

Tyler For this piece, I would recommend cuing the percussion at the beginning then quickly prepping for the chord at measure 2 before cuing the crescendos. Maybe cue the 8ths at measure 9, and the chord at measure 14. Definitely move body to cue a different section of the band as they come in at 18. Cue the cutoff and big entrance at 34. Maybe the rips and runs from the horns in this section. Cue the chords and maybe the rips leading up to 46. 59 is the same as 34 but in a different key, so maybe do something visually to reflect this change. Cue the hell out of those hits in the last 3 bars. Though cues are a very detailed technical thing, the best thing for an audition would be work on developing a confident presence in front of the band. As the field judges would say, hope my comments have been helpful and good luck.
