Shots for Drumline: Editable Sibelius File

Customize the Chaos. Own the Hype.

This drumline arrangement brings that same explosive energy to the marching field, parade route, or pep rally stage.

The editable Sibelius file gives you full control over how you bring the chaos.

Want to expand the loop? Strip it down for a smaller line? Build in callouts? Change up the stick visuals or modify cymbal moments?

You can do it all—and still keep that core identity everyone knows and shouts.

This is more than just a party track—it’s a battery arrangement built for full-ensemble buy-in, group timing, and crowd-led energy. You’re not just playing a chart… you’re leading a chant.

What’s included:

• Editable Sibelius (.sib) file
• Full battery score: Snare, Tenors, 5 Bass Drums, Cymbals
• Syncopated ensemble hits matched to the original “Shots” chant
• Loopable structure with clean internal transitions
• Clearly labeled visual and callout cues for crowd interaction

Build Your Own Version

This arrangement is intentionally modular—use it as-is or completely restructure it to fit your ensemble. Directors love how easy it is to adapt this chart on the fly.

Start with one rep, then build out to 2 or 3 for a full-on game-day hype moment.

Here are just a few ways you might edit or expand the arrangement using this Sibelius file:

• Reduce voicing: Need it playable by 2 basses? Just cut or combine splits.
• Tenor simplification: Simplify for less experienced players or revoice for quads only.
• Cymbal options: Add choreographed claps, visuals, and choke patterns—or remove them entirely if not needed.
• Insert vocal callouts: Add timing labels for your battery to shout “SHOTS!” in sync with hits, just like the track.
• Change sticking and dynamics: Use the .sib format to personalize articulation for your line’s style.

You’re not locked into one version. This file gives you a remixable template with an irresistible groove and a fully baked crowd reaction built in.

Why Arrangers and Directors Choose This Chart

• Instant engagement: The chant starts before you even play the first note.
• Short, clean loop: Designed for moments when you need to drop in, lock up, and leave an impression in under 30 seconds.
• Flexible difficulty: Parts can be taught quickly to a wide range of players, and there’s room to scale up or down in complexity.
• Visual moments: Cymbals and rest breaks are baked in to create “poses” and moments of controlled chaos.
• Educational flow: Great way to teach dynamics, unison impacts, and crowd pacing—without losing fun.

Great Use Cases for This Chart

• Pep rallies with big crowd participation
• Marching band entrances or tunnel hype
• Touchdown responses or third-down defense chants
• Band camp rep pieces to get students excited
• Post-performance encore moments (because let’s be honest, someone’s going to yell “SHOTS” anyway)

What You Can Modify in Sibelius

This file is perfect for music educators or arrangers who want to iterate fast. With full part separation, clear phrasing, and visual layout already in place, you can:

• Edit all parts independently: Snare, Tenor, Bass, and Cymbals
• Transpose or revoice melodic phrases
• Swap sections, adjust loops, or create cut versions
• Copy/paste energy from this chart into longer cadences
• Reformat page layout for printouts or screen display

We built this file to be played, hacked, restructured, and made your own.

You’re not just buying an arrangement—you’re unlocking a crowd control tool with infinite use cases.

What You’re Actually Getting

You know your team better than anyone. Use this file to build the exact version of “Shots” your band needs—louder, simpler, longer, flashier… chanty-er?

Whatever the crowd demands… now you’ve got the tools to deliver it.
