Out of all the classes that I take,
Band is my favorite one,
You learn a lot and work quite hard,
But still you're having fun!
There's always stuff you have to know,
Like dynamics and intonation
And then there's the stuff you can't forget,
Like notes and articulation.
In band you work together,
Never separate from the team,
You must use this thing called teamwork,
To achieve your goals and dreams.
You're supposed to practice really hard,
Without any interference,
It teaches you to be patient,
And that's called perseverance.
To make sure you play everything right,
For a concert or an audition,
You have to practice your part again and again,
And that's called repetition.
Then there's that word for being complete,
Integrity, being whole,
Playing together, Sounding great,
You cannot forget your role.
Band students must be also courageous,
Unafraid to play full and play out,
Unafraid to mess up on something for once,
'Cause in band, you're worst enemy's doubt.
A band student must be attentive,
Must pay attention to what's going on,
If a student zones out and misses everything,
Then the point of continuing is gone.
It's important to try your hardest,
If you do, you'll progress very fast.
The message I'm trying to send to you,
Is that, "Band is like no other class."
