Marching Band
The summer has come to an end, fall has begun
Students start preparing for school again
However, one group of students have already been preparing ofr fall
The marvelous marching band season has started two weeks before school
The students warm up on their instruments
From the Sousaphone to the trumpet'And the Saxophone to the flute
All coming together to refresh their memories of their season
Starting with their training of playing
A field show is chosen and the music is immediately memorized
Then comes the part of relearning how to march
From rolling your feet, to stop and goes
We relearn the fundamentals, drills and finally come to the show
The show is learned by pages at a timme, and attaching the music to the drill]
Visuals are added on for the people who are stationary for a couple of sets]
And as the pages were added, the show was a step closer to being finished.
Two weeks before the first competition, the show was finished, but sti messy
We got good awards, and so, we spent the next couple of weeks polishing]
Finally camee the football games
Oh football games were the best
In came the band with their fight song
Playing for the team, they sound like number one
Finally comes the competitions
Blowing our hearts out to make a difference
The tubas with their umpah's
The flutes with thier frills and trills
The trumpets with their melodies
And the percussionists with their beats
All making one big sound to produce music
Awards given for our good performance
End of the season is near
From a marching band to a concert band
Sightreading new music to pay
Awaiting Dysneyland to come
Concert goes on and we make the band sound good
