Author's Notes: Sorry it took a while…Marching Band started up again (!) and school too… :( . This song comes at a perfect time, since it's "Happy New Year", and I'm only doing most of part A because the end of A and most of B is just conversation. I may add in B at a later point, but I'm not sure. Hope you enjoy it.
Awesome New Year
It's the beginning of another band season, and we are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our rookies!
Veteran #1: I'm giving up my summer,
We're going back, back to band!
Sunny or not,
This week will be hot
As long as we can march
I know we'll be grand!
I couldn't get my spirits up
Till this made the lock on my mind explode
It's gonna be an awesome new year
An awesome new year
Veteran #2: Room is cleared;
You're supposed to be in there-
That's for later-
Where are they?
There isn't much time!
Veteran #3: Maybe they're hiding,
I mean, what does one wear that's apropos for a practice
And meeting a mime?
Veteran #4: Chips, anyone?
Veteran #5: You can take the girl out of high school,
But you can't get the high school out of the girl
Veteran #4: I got everyone to agree,
I deserve a royal tea!
Veteran #1: Be nice you two
Or you won't get to cheer
Veteran #4: Don't mind if I do!
No luck?
Veteran #3: Forward march eight, left flank, to the rear
And then a condense
Veteran #4: That doesn't make any sense.
Veteran #3: Rookies, I know you're here,
Please pick up your sheets.
Are you okay?
Let's learn some more; to the rear
And pick up your feet
Are you okay?
And attention drills, and whistle commands
One last chance; don't move your hands!
Then we'll give you a break
A really nice long break,
Just every command please obey!
Doc: That might be okay.
At ease, please, stay.
(to the veterans)
I did a bit of research
With my friends from other bands
Our show's too long, but there's hope
Our closer may be…nope!
Veteran #2: We can cut a phrase from the opener
And another from song 2
Veteran #1: I can't believe you're doing this.
Veteran #2: No one asked you.
Veteran #5: I think I should be playing,
But I forget, forget how to begin
I'm feeling something inside, but I still can't decide
If I should hide or play out loudly and sing.
Last week I wanted just to disappear, my life was dull,
But now it just may be an awesome new year,
An awesome new year.
