Rise!

Level: Medium Advanced
Time: 7:45

From turbulence to triumph, Rise captures the struggle of falling and the power of standing back up. The show opens with a driving percussion feature built from NF’s “Hope,” setting an intense, urgent tone that symbolizes inner conflict and determination. The emotion deepens in “You Will Be Found” from Dear Evan Hansen, reimagined as a stirring ballad of resilience — part heartbreak, part healing — with a climactic gospel-style impact that lifts from despair to light. The show’s finale revisits NF’s explosive energy, blending hip-hop grit, bold brass, and a commanding trombone feature into a powerful closing statement. Raw, emotional, and empowering, Rise is a musical testament to hope through struggle.

Selections
