A/N- All these parodies are based on a junior high concert band because I haven't been in a marching band yet. This just seems to fit best in these sections so please don't flame me about that!!!
Be a Flutist (or what it takes to play the flute)
(Stage setting- A flute ensemble practices for the night of the concert.)
Let's get down to business
To play for the show
Did they give me athletes
To play for this band
You're the meekest bunch I've ever met
And I'll bet before we're through
Bando I'll make flutists out of you
Quiet as the night sky
But blazing strong within
Once you find your focus
Then your notes will ring
You're an inexperienced, breathless lot
And you haven't got a clue
Bando, I'll make flutists out of you
Be a flute
Notes must come fast as a coursing river
Be a flute
High notes as clear as a summer morn
Be a flute
Play with the strength of a blazing fire
Regardless of whether your flute is cold or warm
I've got no time to take a breath
Say goodbye't the section for me
Tell me again how far this phrase will go
Those high notes really have us scared to death
Wait'll you try the low keys
Now I wish we weren't playing for the show!!!
Be a flute
Notes must come fast as a coursing river
Be a flute
High notes as clear as a summer morn
Be a flute
Play with the strength of a blazing fire
Regardless of whether your flute is cold or warm
Days are racing forward
Till the concert night
Try to play together
And we might survive
We've practiced real hard for tonight
Now it's time to test the truth
I think I've made flutists out of you
(Be a flute)
Notes must come fast as a coursing river
(Be a flute)
High notes as clear as a summer morn
(Be a flute)
Play with the strength of a blazing fire
Regardless of whether your flute is cold or warm
(Be a flute)
Notes must come fast as a coursing river
(Be a flute)
High notes as clear as a summer morn
(Be a flute)
Play with the strength of a blazing fire
Regardless of whether your flute is cold or warm
