Marching Band Life

The beat of the metronome Performances at the Dome Moving across the field Having trophies yield Memorizing the sets Winning the bets Placing first in class Hustling across the grass Practices on Back 40 lot Freshman tasks insanely a lot Blazing heat, still practicing Now being told we have to sing Walk with purpose in uniform No air conditioning at the dorm Rapid wind, guard drop March across a spinning prop Night bus rides a little crazy Summer days mind is hazy Find step size using trig Moving pipes really big Scores reported and recorded Uniforms a tad bit sordid Playing instrument in tune Catcalling out to the moon Inches matter, says him One more time on a whim Fall in love and into drama Just don't drop Big Mama Naming instruments now what next Watch the director try to text Halftime shows the main event Don't know how much money spent Been there done that got the shirt Didn't know my ankles hurt Parade day comes Hear the beat of drums Learn to march in step Fill football games with pep Become friends, all this AND Welcome to the marching band!
