through hot summer days

and freezing fall nights

we are a mismatched family

glued together by a love for music

and a desire to become better

we march and march and march

through tempo tears

and forgotten notes

we are a determined team

fighting for our place in state

and we march and march and march

through rough rehearsals

and perfect runs

we are a courageous army

undeniable, tenacious

we march and march and march
