AN: Drumline, I tried. Really I did, but I have yet to come up with a suitable song to parody. So, I'm asking, nay – begging!! – for suggestions. Just send me a review with your idea, and if I can work it out, it will become the drumline tribute. Thanks for your help. In the meantime, enjoy another Broadway musical song fic.
Chapter 8:
The Phantom of the Marching Band
(Sung to "The Phantom of the Opera". I'm pretty sure that you can figure out what it's from.)
AN: One more thing: I've found two different beginning verses for this song, so I'm using the one that was more fun to parody. And with no further ado…
Christine / Random Band Girl:
Up in the scaffolding
I know he's there
He's with me on the field
He's everywhere
And when the song begins
I always find
The phantom of the marching band is there,
Inside my mind
Phantom:
Play once again with me
Our strange duet
My power over you
Grows stronger yet
And though you turn from me
to glance behind
The phantom of the marching band is there
Inside your mind
Christine / RBG:
Those who have seen your face
Draw back in fear
I am the uniform you wear
Phantom:
It's me they hear
Both:
My/Your spirit and my/your horn
In one combined
The phantom of the marching band is there
inside my/your mind
Chorus:
He's there
the phantom of the baa-aaand
Beware the phantom of the baa-aaand
Phantom:
In all your fantasy you always knew
That band and mu-sic
Christine:
Were both in you
Both:
And in this band room
Where night is blind
The Phantom of the marching band is here/there
Inside my/your mind
Phantom:
Play, my Angel of Music!
Christine:
He's there,
the Phantom of the Baa-aand . .
Phantom:
Play...
Christine: Really high note...
Phantom:
Play...
Christine: Ongoing high note...
Phantom:
Play for me...
Christine: Cont'd high notes until the end...
Phantom:
Play My Angel Of Music!
(Christine :cont'd on a higher note)
Phantom:
PLAY FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!
CHRISTINE: ON HIGHER NOTE... ENDS
AN: Originally, I was going to do "Music of the Night", but I just couldn't work it out. I hope you enjoyed this. Wouldn't it be weird if they made a Phantom musical about a band instead of an opera? Sorry, random thought of the day. Anyway, please feel free to leave comments and drumline suggestions.
