21st Century Warmup

by Ember Nickel

Four years after "Boulevard of Broken Reeds", the director has a new challenge; freshman band. Kristen has a solo. Joshua is the only oboe in ninth grade...and that means color guard. Parody of "21st Century Breakdown" by Green Day.

1. Song of the Century

Play me a song, let me start over
Longer than long bombs and turnovers
Don't be confused by the field delay.
I'll lead for you if you only play.
Play out a story under the field lights,
The football team loses, try as they might.
Start playing a song of the century
Or I'll panic at promised posterity.
Play out an anthem for homecoming night.
Play out a song for me.
