Far off beyond the cities
In the land of Adnawite*,
There lived the Flying Warriors,
Who loved to fly and fight.
This bold and strong society
Was made up of young women,
Who always tried their best to do
The tasks that they were given.
Upon the field of Labteksab*
They practiced every day,
They learned the moves they'd need to use
To drive their foes away.
Each of them trained, and later fought,
With sabers, rifles, flags;
And these flags had abilities,
They weren't just lifeless rags.
The first flag, which was called the Skies,
Was orange, blue and gray;
With fearsome waves of energy
It made opponents pay.
The second flag, the Emotion,
Was never hoisted high;
They held it in their hands and danced
To make their rivals cry.
The third flag, the Surprise, was silver,
But it hid bright green
Inside; it shocked all enemies
When unfurled to be seen.
The fourth flag was the Energy,
The largest of the lot;
Dark blue and gold, it could be used
To fire quite a shot.
The fifth and final flag, the Air,
Enriched the Warriors' dance;
When held out like a pair of wings,
It was sure to entrance.
A normal day in Adnawite;
The Warriors were all
Engaged in arduous practice when
They heard somebody call:
"All right, my Warriors, it's time
For you to join the band;
When your talent combines with theirs,
We'll conquer every land."
The Flying Warriors did as
The Music Master said,
Just like they would at all events
That their great leader led.
The Music Master ruled the fields
Across the dirt and painted grass
But to the east of Labteksab
These guys had come from somewhere called
A Warrior captain noticed this
"Hey, everyone! Look over there!
The Warriors looked up and saw
By concentrating very hard,
"We are the Flying Warriors
Those of them with the flag, the Air,
Now that the Ohcnars' guard was down,
The foes thus sapped of energy,
This task complete, the Warriors made
Indeed; for there were nine days left
To Viva*, city of bright lights,
*******
The day arrived; the whole group left
They had their dinner, then went off
The band slept late the next morning,
When at the site, the Warriors dressed
There was an "X" across the chest
They also wore, on their left legs,
The sun was hot that afternoon
When their performance was complete,
They had an early dinner, then
They came onto the field again
When done, they left in one straight line,
They swept up all the trophies:
"And now, folks, comes the moment
A cheer rang out across the night:
"What's up with that?" Ohcnars replied.
"You must be better than I thought,"
The hour was late, and up and up
They'd done it in a fit of joy
The band would be invited to
*******
Two weekends after these events,
They all were in a cheerful mood,
Kanysha was the co-captain,
What joy it is to be involved

it's fun. :-)
Of Labteksab and Gnos*;
He was a wise and kindly man,
But not someone to cross.
The Warriors came in,
They started to set up their flags
Before they could begin.
Some foreign people stood;
They'd come unasked to Adnawite
And were up to no good.
Agnomacuc-Ohcnar*,
To see what Adnawite did
That made beating them so hard.
(Her name was Gabrielle),
She realized their bad intent,
So she let out a yell:
I see we have some spies.
And someone has to save our skins -
My girls, take to the skies!"
Their adversaries there;
They all took flags and closed their eyes
And jumped into the air.
They all began to fly,
They then got in a formation
And cried a battle cry:
Who soar across the blue,
And in the name of Adnawite
We're going to punish you!"
Did part of their routine,
The Ohcnars stood and stared at them:
"Man, they look really keen!"
The Warriors with the Skies
Unfurled their flags and waved them hard
To rain down swift demise.
The Warriors flew them home
And said to them, "Behavior like that
We will not condone!"
A triumphant return;
The Music Master said, "Good work,
But there's still much to learn."
'Til Warriors and band
Would leave their home and travel far
Across the desert land
And there they would compete
Against a lot of other bands
And win, or feel defeat.
(*Vee-va. Nickname for Las Vegas that someone made
up.)
With hope and happiness,
They settled in a hotel, but
There was no time to rest.
To practice just once more;
Oh, how excited they all were!
A big day was in store!
Got on their way at noon,
They didn't say much, for they knew
They'd be performing soon.
In skintight suits of gold;
The uniform was pretty,
But at night was very cold.
Writ in black leather straps;
Their hair was glittered and tied back,
They needed not wear caps.
A strange sort of skirt-thing;
Attached to that, above the knee,
A golden buckle gleamed.
As Adnawite came on
And started moving with good form
Across the yard-lined lawn.
The finalists were named;
Yes, Adnawite was one of them;
Perhaps they would be famed!
Went back to watch the show;
They'd not seen many bands when it
Was time for them to go.
And tried somehow to beat
The show they'd done that morning, in
Night's cold instead of heat.
But still they did not rest;
They went with all the other bands
To see who was the best.
Music, Visual and Effect.
And now, the question: What best band
Would the judges select?
We've been waiting for all night:
The champion award goes to . . .
The band from Adnawite!"
"Yahoo! Wooeeee! We won!
So in your face, you from Ohcnar;
You don't get any fun!"
"There's fun in every show.
We didn't place as high as you,
But nor were we too low."
Said Gabrielle to them;
"If you don't spy on us again,
I think we can be friends."
The Flying Warriors rose;
They flew unseen to their hotel,
But why? They nearly froze!
In their accomplishment;
They were the region's champions!
They all knew what this meant:
Grand Nationals next year,
And that would be a great high point
In Adnawite's career.
The band was on parade;
Some Warriors marched too, and waved
Flags to the song they played.
And marched with strength and pride,
The Flying Warriors all kept
Their bright-red smiles wide.
Along with Gabrielle;
They both were in good moods that
It seemed nothing could dispel.
In high-school marching band,
You gain friends, goals, accomplishments
And honor for your land.
