Band Geeks

[ELLIOTT]
Time to polish my tuba

[LAURA]
Break my flute back out of the case

[ELLIOTT]
We gotta copy the drill charts
Divide up the horn parts

[LAURA]
And paint all the hash marks in their proper place

[ELLIOTT]
I don't know if I'm ready
Only minutes 'till the band arrives

[LAURA]
There's nothing to fear
We're seniors this year

[ELLIOTT]
I think I'm starting to break out in hives!

[ELLIOTT & LAURA]
The summer is gone and suddenly we begin!

[ELLIOTT]
On the practise field it's a hundred degrees easily

[LAURA]
Now its time to fall into line with these

[ENSEBLE]
Bah-ah-ah-ah-ah-and geeks
Band geeks!

[ELLIOTT]
No onе else understands

[ENSEMBLE]
Bah-ah-ah-ah-and geeks
Wе're band geeks!

[SPITZ]
Our horns were made in Japan

[ELLIOTT & LAURA]
We were born to play and band camp starts today!

[ENSEMBLE]
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah! (Bah bah bah bah!)
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo!

[MR. HORNSBY, spoken]
Laura, why don't you go ahead and call the role?

[LAURA, spoken]
Oh, no! I mean, shouldn't we let the Captain do that?

[MR. HORNSBY, spoken]
Well... sure. Eliot, wanna do the honours?

[ELLIOTT, spoken]
Alright then! Laura-Jane Kirk!

[LAURA, spoken]
Here! You're doing great!

[ELLIOTT,spoken]
Thanks! Molly Wienerman.

[MOLLY, spoken]
Here.

[NICOLE, spoken]
On your way to a funeral?

[MOLLY, spoken]
I'm in mourning for my life.

[ELLIOTT, spoken]
Uh, Nicole Murray?

[NICOLE, spoken]
Go Beavers!

[ALVIN, spoken]
Girl, I love that Notre Dame ribbon!

[NICOLE, spoken]
Don't touch it! It took me twelve tries to get it right this morning.

[ELLIOTT, spoken]
Alvin Freeman.

[ALVIN, spoken]
Present.

[ELLIOTT, spoken]
Spitz.

[SPITZ, spoken]
Trumpets rule!

[ELLIOTT, spoken]
Kyle.

[KYLE, spoken]
Elliot, it's Gonith.

[ELLIOTT, spoken]
I am not calling you by your Dungeons and Dragons name.  Next up, uh, oh, bear with me now, Natalia Vuh- Vuh- Vo-

[NATALIA, spoken]
Vosavich.

[MR. HORNSBY, spoken]
You're the exchange student from-

[NATALIA, spoken]
Braslovia.  I'm premium trumpet player in National Youth Orchestra.

[SPITZ, spoken]
Is she serious?

[NATALIA, spoken]
As Lenin's tomb.

[ELLIOTT, spoken]
Ok then, colour guard? drumline? Alright everyone, basics block.  lets go!

[SPITZ]
Back to being band geek

[KYLE]
It's a stigma you just can't remove

[STEWARD]
It's not gift, but a curse

[MOLLY]
Like a Leper, but worse

[ALVIN]
With a grim prognosis that'll never improve

[NICOLE]
When you're band geek the cheerleaders think
You're just a little too intense for the crew

[LAURA]
Still, you wait in the stands with your flute in your hands

[ENSEMBLE]
To play the fight song 'till your face turns blue

[MOLLY & KYLE, (ENSEMBLE)]
They say you're super freaky weird (super freaky weird!)

[ALVIN, ENSEMBLE]
But you take all your lumps on the chin (Take all your lumps on the chin)
Again and again and again and again when you're

Bah-ah-ah-ah-ah-and geeks
Band geeks!

[STEWART]
Tripping over our feet!

[ENSEMBLE]
Bah-ah-ah-ah-ah-and geeks
Band geeks!

[ALVIN]
Not too proud to retreat!

[SPITZ]
'Cause when you are under attack

[NATALIA, spoken]
This is our zone?

[KYLE]
And you wish you had tried out for track

[ALVIN, spoken]
Yeah, good luck!

[ENSEMBLE]
No use fighting back
You're a band geek!

[ELLIOTT]
I wish, just once, that we could play
To thunderous applause

[MOLLY]
I wish that I could disappear

[NICOLE]
I wish I had fewer flaws

[SPITZ]
I wanna get past first base

[STEWART]
I wanna not get hit everyday

[ENSEMBLE]
I wish, for once, they saw more then
A freak out on display
It's like it's printed on our DNA!

[JAKE]
Nine seasons of football
I've waited for this year
Senior All Star Jake
Then one little mistake
And BAM! It's the end of your high school career

They said that I had promise
Maybe a scholarship that I could win
Ok, I admit, I lashed out a bit
Now I can never play football again

I can't believe they're throwing me in with the marching band
Whatever, I just gotta pass
I'm gonna hate every minute I sit in the class with those

[ENSEMBLE]
Bah-ah-ah-ah-ah-and geeks
Band geeks!

[JAKE]
The socially retarded

[ENSEMBLE]
Bah-ah-ah-ah-ah-and geeks
Band geeks!

[MR. HORNSBY]
Are you ready to get started?

[MR. HORNSBY, ENSEMBLE]
Band! Bah-ah-ah-ah-ah-and geeks
Band geeks!

[ELLIOTT]
I'm gonna get some respect

[ENSEMBLE]
Bah-ah-ah-ah-ah-and geeks
Band geeks!

[JAKE]
Is it too late to object?

[LAURA]
Can we get it together?
Can we break from the status quo?

[ENSEMBLE]
Forward march and away we go!
Another season, (Another season)
Another season
Another season!
Suck it up and go!
Check and Hit!
