The evening before band camp ends, we always have skit night. This year, all of my friends relied on ME to write our skit song. I worked my butt off to write this, and how do my friends repay me for my efforts? They wimp out and decided not to perform it at all. Oh well. Hopefully YOU'LL appreciate this more than they did!

*NOTE- I do not own the copyright to the song "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor. BUT, I am not breaking copyright laws by simply suggesting that you sing that melody in your head while reading this!

First we were afraid
We were petrified
Thinking that we could never march
With our feet in time
And we spend oh, so many days
Out there sweating in the sun
It's almost fun
The fact that band season's begun

And you see us

Somebody new
We freshman model ourselves after what the seniors do
Ann, Mike, Todd, Alex, Grosso, "M," and "Chad"
They are our instructors and they tell us when we're bad

But we'll survive
Oh, we'll survive
As long as we know how to march
We know we'll stay alive
Only three short months to go
Until we perform our full show
But we'll survive
We will survive.

BAND CAMP!
