More about this title

About the Composer: Hayley Williams

Hayley Williams is the lead vocalist and primary creative force behind Paramore, the band that redefined pop-punk and alternative rock in the 2000s. Her songwriting partnership with guitarists Josh Farro and Taylor York has produced some of the most recognizable hooks in modern rock, combining emotional directness with infectious melodies that translate surprisingly well to the concert band idiom.

Why we love this

This arrangement captures everything that made "Riot!" a breakout moment: the propulsive energy, the sing-along chorus, and the way melody sits naturally over a rock foundation. At Grade 2, it's accessible enough for developing bands but satisfying enough that stronger ensembles will feel the genuine excitement of the source material.

What to expect

Explosive and immediate. The chart channels Paramore's signature blend of pop sensibility and rock grit, with a melody that sticks after one hearing. Despite its accessibility, the piece never feels dumbed down; instead, it celebrates what pop-rock does best: making everybody want to play together.

Who it's for

Concert bands looking to program contemporary rock that actually engages students without sacrificing musicianship. The Grade 2 level makes it viable for high school bands of mixed ability, and the familiar source material draws immediate buy-in from performers.

How to get the most out of it

Lock the rock groove in your rhythm section before rehearsing the full band. The driving eighth-note pulse underneath the melody is what makes this chart work.
Bring the dynamic contrast. The charts builds momentum through accumulation, so resist the urge to play everything at the same level from the start.
Keep articulation crisp in the upper voices when the melody passes around. This style demands clarity over legato.
Let the energy breathe in quieter sections rather than dampening it entirely. Paramore's sound maintains tension even at lower volumes.

How to use it

This works especially well on a concert or pops program where you want to acknowledge what students actually listen to. Pair it with one other contemporary arrangement and a classical cornerstone to create a program that feels current without losing its musical credibility.
