Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye: Concert Band Conductor Score & Parts

Bright, energetic, and unapologetically fun. The arrangement maintains the pop-rock DNA of the original while keeping demands manageable, so your students can focus on delivering the groove and charm that made this song a stadium favorite.

Beginning band programs looking for accessible, high-engagement concert repertoire. This works equally well for students still building fundamental skills and for programs wanting a crowd-pleasing finale that validates their musicianship through recognition and fun.
