Beat It – Show Band Arrangement with Parts

High-energy instrumental show band arrangement of Michael Jackson’s Beat It, designed to deliver maximum impact in live performance. Punchy grooves, driving rhythms, powerful horn hits, and tight ensemble writing bring a fresh, explosive character to this timeless pop-rock anthem, while fully respecting the original feel and iconic style of the song.

This version works fully instrumentally, with the horn section carrying the main melodies, allowing the arrangement to stand on its own without a singer — while still leaving space for vocals if desired.

It also features an open guitar solo section, giving the guitarist full freedom to deliver a Van Halen–style shred solo or to improvise freely, just like in the original recording.

Featuring a full rhythm section and a powerful 5-horn section, this chart is ideal for modern show bands, cruise ship orchestras, and professional live productions looking for a dynamic, crowd-pleasing performance.
