Author's Notes: Yay it's been almost a year since I first posted this, and I've broken the 100-review milestone! Thanks so much you guys! It's kind of sad that I've gotten so far because that means the end is coming…only this chapter, Halloween, (possibly) Goodbye Love, What You Own, Your Eyes, and Finale. I'd like to do another like this, so let me know if you have suggestions of musicals that I can use (I was thinking maybe Chicago or Jesus Christ Superstar, since we played the latter for band)!

Without band

The music stalls

The snow falls

The days drag

Without band

The bonds break

The notes shake

School bands play

The classes test

The marching rests

The birds fly

Without band

The earth turns

The marcher yearns

But I die

Without band

Without band

The breeze warms

The sun shines

The clouds move

Without band

The tunes stay

The couples change

The practice stops

The crowds leave

The fields freeze

The lines curve

Without band

The moon glows

The seniors go

But I die

Without band

The world revives

Spirits renew

But I know blue

Only blue

Lonely blue

Within me blue

Without band

Without band

No hand gropes

No ear hears

No drum beats

Without band

No eyes watch

No legs march

No lungs breathe

The mind churns

The heart learns

The tears dry

Without band

Life goes on

But I'm gone

Cause I die

Without band
