Say It Louder
J.W.Pepper Editor's Choice Arrangement!
From Panic! At The Disco's 7th and final album "Viva Las Vengeance", this hit is a call-back to the sound of the legendary new wave band The Police. The lyrics are a call to action for all kids who want to seize the opportunities of youth and make music despite any obstacles in their way. Designed for maximum show choir impact, the arrangement is amazingly versatile -- it could function as an opener, change-of-pace, and even packs enough punch to close a show! Or, combine voicings to accommodate a costume change. It features a brief tenor solo after the opening dance break (or use the treble solo in the SSA score).
Instrumentation: Piano/Synth/Guitar/Bass/Drums/Percussion/2 Tpt/2 Tbn/Alto, Tenor Sax

Hey kids Legends and gods Give them applause We made it against all odds Everybody hates you now But don't you let it bring you down Breaking out of your small town Show them what you're all about For the people in the back Contemplating why you're here Floating through the atmosphere Laughing through your crocodile tears As your moment disappears Hey kids Legends and gods Give them applause We made it against all odds Choose your weapon of choice Your beautiful voice Don't ever let 'em turn you down Turn it up, turn it up, rock city! Say it louder for the people Say it louder for the people Say it louder for the people in the back Don't you know you're not alone? Dancing in the neon glow When the song comes on the radio Turn it up, turn it up, rock city! Hey kids Legends and gods Give them applause Against all the odds Choose your weapon of choice Your beautiful voice Don't ever let 'em turn you down Turn it up right now Say it louder for the people in the back! (Panic At The Disco, Panic! At The Disco)
