attempt at arranging

So I'm arranging Watching the Detectives for my school's male acappella group that I'm in, and I'm realizing that it's much different (and maybe harder) than writing a song. Anyone have any tips?

arranging like writing the vocal parts for the group ?

80% of that song is a single vocal track

Yeah, writing the vocal parts.
Well, the solo is the main part, but I gotta write the backing 4 parts. The verse is easy and I finished it, but the chorus is sort of difficult and i havent figured out what to do there.

the first part of the chorus is Unison or enharmonic

Im nit just taking the instruments and making them into vocal lines, im creating new lines for vocals. Ill get it, I was just wondering about any tips that people have. I'm taking music theory in the apring semester so thatll probably help for other arrangements that I might write.
