Today's a chaotic time for the band.
Evaluations are over with
And nothing will stay the same.
Scores are recorded
So it's time for a change.
Some people got a better score
While others' are quite poor.
The first trumpet is sulking
Because he's down to second.
The third flute nearly fainted
Because she looked at the firsts' music.
Now that we're all in our spots
According to our eval scores,
We need our new parts!
Excuse me, T.A., can I get second trumbone
for "American Riversongs" by Pierre La Plante?
People swap their music back and forth.
The new first French horn hands over
His second part to the new second.
Hey, can I get first tuba
For "Antithigram" by Jack Stamp? Thank you.
The two T.A.s run to our band director's office
To make copies of all the parts.
One by one,
Two by two,
Even seven by seven,
We get up from our chairs
And go into the office
To receive all of our new parts.
I thought I had third clarinet
For "First Suite in Eb" by Gustav Holst
But I guess not.
Please make a copy of "Hebrides Suite"
By Clare Grundman. I need third bari sax!
Now the band starts to return to their chairs
And ready to finally play.
Does everyone have their parts?
Anyone else need parts?
Yes, we have all our parts.
Good. Now we can
Get to work on the songs we need to play.
There's probably a chance
That tomorrow, someone'll come to class
And say out loud
Where's my part?!
