band is my life

hear me out

band is my life

there is no doubt

 

i march

i play

i cry

i love it

 

band is pain

but band is amazing

band teaches you to struggle

through jazz-runs, 6/8 time, and 4-5 steps

 

band is my life

it keeps me living

it keeps many people living

it is a reason to wake up

 

we all hate it

our parents all hate it

our band director hates it

but we wouldnt ask for any different

 

we asked for this pain

we asked for this struggle

we asked for the ridicule

but we wouldnt have it any other way

 

it lowers our grades

it cripples us

it hurts us

but we love it all the more

 

marching band is the reason i live

marching band is the reason i have friends

marching band is the reason i love school

marching band is the reason i love life

 

marching band teaches you so much

and it corrupts your way of thinking

it gives you discipline

and strength

 

marching band gives you a family and a place to call home

its members never hate

they may fight

but unlike normal family we eventually get over it

 

we cry together

we love together

we march together

We Band Together
