Author's Notes: I really am trying to keep up with this, but it's really hard with all my stupid school classes, plus band 3 or 4 days a week, so…I am trying though.
Sit me or March me
This song can be sung by any marcher who is threatened with not marching a game for missing practice or any reason whatsoever.
Every single day I march down the field
I hear my mind say 'Is this for real?'
Ever since marching band, I will never stand to stand
Groups that don't act; only say
So be kind, don't lose your mind
Just remember that when it's Friday
Take me to the game
Where I was meant to be
It just won't be the same
If you sit me, so march me
Don't you sit me, please march me
A tiger in a cage can never see the sun
This marcher needs a stage, this week there's just one
I want to march there too-in my white pants and marching shoes.
In the stadium lights too baby
So be smart, I play first part
You're crying: "(insert instrument section here) why are you falling apart?"
So take me to the game
Where I was meant to be
It just won't be the same
If you sit me, so march me.
No way can I be where I want,
But hey, don't you want the band to flaunt?
Don't sigh, don't roll your eyes
This rule could be the band's demise!
Ooh! It could be the band's demise.
I look before we start
I love flanking and doing drills
I know the scales by heart,
Not to mention the trills
Never quit, I follow through
Hate solos, but I'll take cues
What to do with regard to marching…
So be wise, I might improvise,
Let's compromise because I despise
Sitting on the side lines!
Take me to the game
Where I was meant to be
It just won't be the same
If you sit me, so march me
That's it!
The straw that breaks my back
I quit!
Unless you take it back!
Marching!
What is it about band?
Can't live with it or without it
Take me to the game
Where I was meant to be
It just won't be the same
If you sit me, so march me
Don't you sit me
Please march me
(The song is a success)
Notes: Ha ha. Can you imagine singing this to your band director? Next up: "Without You" (about band withdrawal) then my absolute favorite song "Halloween" (I think I might be singing that one instead of the usual general person). Please review!
