This arrangement was written for a chorus of young women, with relatively narrow ranges. It is suitable for high school groups, with a positive, self-empowering message. 
Vocal ranges are:
Tenor (S1): F4 - G5 (F above middle C to G above high C)
Lead (S2): G3 - Eb5 (G below middle C to Eb above high C)
Baritone (A1): Bb3 - C5 (Bb below middle C to high C)
Bass (A2): F3 - Eb4 (F below middle C to Eb above middle C)
PLEASE NOTE, WOMEN'S BARBERSHOP USES THE NAMES TENOR, LEAD, BARITONE AND BASS, AND OCTAVE SHIFTED BASS CLEFS FOR THE LOWER TWO PARTS. HOWEVER, AS STATED, THIS IS AN SSAA ARRANGEMENT USING THE RANGES LISTED ABOVE.
