AN: I finally got an idea for the drumline tribute. I received a few suggestions from Aquarius25 and songwithoutwordz which I did not use, but I'd like to thank them anyway. So today we salute you, drumline, eternal keepers of insane tempos.

In Drumline

(Sung to "Kryptonite" by 3 Doors Down. Dig through your memory – it's kind of old.)

I took a jog around the field
To ease my troubled mind
I left my drum sticks laying somewhere
In the band room inside

I heard the band slow down
In measure 82

I feel there is nothing I can do, yeah

I heard the band slow down
In measure 82
After all I knew it had to be
Something to do with you
I really don't mind what happens now and then
As long as I'll be in drumline at the end

I think I'm crazy and I blame it
On the marching band
If I'm alive and well,

Then I'll be there
With my sticks in my hand
It's always on my mind
Because I'm a band ge-ek
In drumline

You called me strong, you called me weak,
But still your tempo I will keep
You took for granted all the times
I never let you down
You slowed it down, messed up the set
If not for me then you'd be dead
I picked it up and got you back
On solid beats

I think I'm crazy and I blame it
On the marching band
If I'm alive and well,
I'll be there with my sticks in my hand
It's always on my mind
Because I'm a band geek
In drumline
Yeah!!

I think I'm crazy and I blame it
On the marching band
If I'm alive and well,
I'll be there with my sticks in my hand
It's always on my mind
Because I'm a band geek
In drumline

AN: Hope you enjoyed it. Comments more than welcome. BTW, if you are reading this now, it is the revised chapter. In the original I forgot to add the names of those who gave suggestions and I now offer them my sincerest apologies for my brain lapse.
