Life Support
Author's Notes: I had fun with that last chapter, and this one should be just as. Hope you like it!
The rookies are gathering for the first time at the beginning of the season. They have never been involved in anything of this magnitude or commitment before, and many are wary and in awe of the greatness of the band. They begin bonding by exchanging section identification and discussing worries and opinions of band. The leader then consoles them, and they know it will be alright.

Doc: I'm Doc, let's begin
It's only band;
Remember this-
Rookie: Sorry, excuse me, oops!
Doc: And you are?
Rookie: Oh I'm not,
I'm just here to
I don't have
I'm here with…
None! None!
I don't play
Well this is quite an operation
Doc: Well sit down, I'm just giving information
Forget regret, for band is not to miss
Rookie: Excuse me, Doc, I'm having a problem with this
This commitment, I'm hesitant, Okay?
Doc: Alright, but here, how do you feel today?
Rookie: What do you mean?
Doc: How do you feel today?
Rookie: Okay…
Doc: Is that all?
Rookie: Best I've felt all year.
Doc: Then why choose fear?
Rookie: I'm a drummer, fear's no life
Look, I find some of what you teach suspect
Because I'm used to relying on intellect
But I want to try something I don't know
Because reason says I should have joined three years ago
All Rookies and Doc: All brand new songs
Marching all day
Today we will play
