AN: This is just basically a collection of anything and everything that pops into my head about band. There will be song fics, lists, ramblings, jokes, etc. Enjoy.
The Band Anthology
Chapter 1:
I'll Make a Band Out of You
(Sung to 'I'll Make a Man Out of You' from Mulan)
(BTW, I have nothing against pit members, that's just where people in my band who can't march end up.)
Band Director (talking to freshmen) :
Let's get down to business
To become a band
Did they send me eighth grade
When I asked for freshmen?
You're the saddest bunch I ever met
But you can bet before we're through
Somehow I'll make a band out of you
Tranquil as a forest
But on fire within
Once you find your center
We are sure to win
You're a spineless, pale pathetic lot
And you haven't got a clue
Somehow I'll make a band out of you
Freshman 1:
I'm never gonna catch my breath
Freshman 2:
Say goodbye to all non-band friends
Freshman 3:
Man, I really wish that they'd count band as gym
Upperclassman:
This guy's got 'em scared to death
Freshman 1:
I wish that he could see right through me
Freshman 2:
All I really want is to go home and swim!
Band Director:
(Be a band)
You must hit sets like precision missiles
(Be a band)
With all the pride that a drum corps has
(Be a band)
Play as well a pro musician
Confident as the seniors that I have
Time is racing toward us
Till competitions arrive
Heed my every order
And you might survive
(to Freshman):
You're unsuited for that horn of yours
Pack it up, the pit for you
How could I make a band with you?
(Be a band)
You must march like the military
(Be a band)
Keep your eyes on the drum major
(Be a band)
Subdivide with every step
And play the last song as well as the first
(Be a band)
You must hit sets like precision missiles
(Be a band)
With all the pride that a drum corps has
(Be a band)
Play as well a pro musician
Confident as the seniors that I have
