Circle of Fives A/N: To the tune of "Circle of Life" (the movie version) from The Lion King. Here are my personal stats as background for my band filks: Name: Amy. Band: Etiwanda High School Marching Eagle Regiment. Instrument: Clarinet. Year: Freshman ('04!). This idea hit me all of a sudden when I finished practicing tonight (Feb. 15). It's a song about learning to play. The actual name of the concept I'm talking about is the circle of fifths; I just said "fives" in the song because it sounds more like the actual lyric. Expect more, longer, and better filks from me in the future! :-)

From the day we arrive in the band room,
And start to become musicians,
There's more to play than can ever be played,
Wondering, will it ever be fun?

There's far too much to take in here,
But we find we can make a good sound.
There's a reason and rhyme
To the notes on the lines:
The scales go, in an endless round.

It's the Circle of Fives
And it moves us all
Through Db and B
Through A and F

Till we find the key
Of our own instrument
In the Circle
The Circle of Fives

(repeat chorus)

Disclaimer: I don't own the tune. No money is being made off this; I write because it's fun.
