More about this title
About the Artist: Fall Out Boy
Fall Out Boy emerged from Chicago's pop-punk scene in the early 2000s to become one of the decade's defining rock bands. Known for their theatrical energy, infectious hooks, and willingness to evolve their sound across multiple albums, the band has built a devoted following that spans generations of listeners. Their work for film and television demonstrates a gift for writing music that serves visual storytelling while maintaining the intensity and accessibility that defines their brand.
Why we love this
Tom Wallace's arrangement captures the propulsive urgency of the original without losing the futuristic aesthetic that makes this track instantly recognizable. A Grade 3 setting means your students get to tackle a contemporary rock composition that feels current and engaging, not a watered-down adaptation. Audiences respond immediately to this music, and that immediate connection makes it rewarding for everyone on the field.
What to expect
High-tech and urgent, with a propulsive energy that builds momentum from the opening. The arrangement channels the superhero heroics of the film while maintaining the rock authenticity that made the original track compelling.
Who it's for
Bands seeking contemporary repertoire that connects with student musicians and audiences alike. This arrangement works for programs that want to feature music students actually listen to, without sacrificing musical substance or technical growth.
How to get the most out of it
- Keep the rhythm section locked and driving throughout. The groove is what sells this arrangement, so emphasize consistent articulation in your brass attacks.
- Balance the melodic line between sections rather than letting one part dominate. The interplay between brass and woodwinds creates the sonic texture Wallace designed.
- Commit fully to the dynamic contrasts. The shifts between intense sections and more subdued moments define the emotional arc, so don't hedge those transitions.
- Lean into the rock sensibility. This isn't symphonic music, so encourage your players to feel the pulse in their bodies, not just count it on the page.
How to use it
Include this alongside other contemporary film music to demonstrate how modern composers approach scoring for visual media. It's substantial enough to anchor a concert while remaining accessible enough that audience members leave humming the melody.
