About the Composer: HAYLEY WILLIAMS

Hayley Williams is the lead vocalist and primary songwriter of Paramore, the alt-rock band that emerged in the mid-2000s as a defining voice in emo and pop-punk. Her songwriting centers emotional vulnerability and narrative specificity, qualities that have evolved across multiple studio albums and influenced a generation of artists working in alternative and mainstream rock. Williams collaborated with producer Dan Nigro and co-writers Josh Farro and Olivia Rodrigo on "Good 4 U," contributing compositional and vocal work to a track that became a cultural moment in contemporary pop-rock.

Why we love this

Brian Scott's arrangement captures the raw intensity of the original without losing the song's emotional punch. A Grade 3 chart that actually sounds powerful on the field is rare; this one balances accessibility with genuine musicality, giving student musicians material they recognize and care about while keeping rehearsal time reasonable.

What to expect

Propulsive and defiant. The arrangement channels the original's emotional intensity, with driving rhythms underneath soaring melodic moments. It's the sound of anger and hurt transformed into something undeniable on the field.

Who it's for

Band directors seeking contemporary repertoire that actually engages students in the stands or for pep band rotation. The Grade 3 level makes this accessible to most high school programs while keeping the arrangement musically credible. This works equally well as a standalone feature or as part of a mixed set.

How to get the most out of it

Lock the syncopated rhythmic figures in the upper woodwinds and brass. These drive the arrangement's forward momentum, so precision matters more than volume.
Balance the bass line prominently enough that it anchors the harmonic movement. This isn't a background element; it's foundational to the song's character.
Shape the dynamics with intention around the song's emotional arc. The arrangement builds intensity deliberately, so avoid playing at full volume too early.
Keep the tempo steady without rushing. The groove works only if the ensemble feels locked together from front to back.

How to use it

Include this in a pep band rotation or as an auxiliary feature during halftime. The 2:10 runtime fits concert and field contexts comfortably. Consider programming it alongside other contemporary pop-rock charts to show your audience that marching band repertoire speaks to current musical culture.
