Get It Together

[MOLLY]
The other bands are bigger
The advantage there is clear
We need a psychological edge—a way to inspire fear!
I think that I found just the thing to really strike a chord
Plus the makeup and the costuming are easy to afford
Presenting: The Bellevue Zombie Horde!

(Instrumental)

What do you say, Mr. Hornsby?
I could get it together

[MR. HORNSBY, spoken]
Well, it's certainly expressive

[MOLLY, spoken]
A little too expressive?

[MR. HORNSBY, spoken]
But some non-traditional marching might be a great way to get us noticed. Good job, Molly

[NICOLE, spoken]
I think I have a way to get us noticed, Mr. H. Jake, come here!

[JAKE, spoken]
I didn't know we were gonna do this in front of everyone?

[NICOLE, spoken]
Just relax. I'll do all the heavy lifting

(sung)
The audience is going to want some visual effects
Something to catch their eye and make them crane their necks
I thought about a giant prop or a fireworks display
But we don't have the cash or time
So I found another way
Some good old-fashioned T&A!

(Instrumental)

[MR. HORNSBY, spoken]
Nicole, please!

[NICOLE, spoken]
What?

[MR. HORNSBY, spoken]
Get it together. We can't possibly have you going on in that outfit

[NICOLE, spoken]
I can make a few alterations

[MR. HORNSBY spoken]
You can start with more fabric

[GUYS (GIRLS)]
We gotta do this right
We gotta get it together (Get it together)

[ELLIOTT]
The Beavers must unite
I gotta get it together

[GIRLS]
Get it together!

[LAURA]
Marching, playing, drumming
There's no time to sit and stew

[BAND GEEKS]
The festival is coming, we've got a lot of work to do
To prepare for our debut...

[MR. HORNSBY, spoken]
Jake, the whole form is guiding off of you

[JAKE, spoken]
Yes, sir

[ELLIOTT, spoken]
Mr. Hornsby, wouldn't this form be better if we centered it around the woodwinds?

[MR. HORNSBY, spoken]
Something to think about. You're doing great, Jake

[NATALIA, spoken]
Mr. Hornsby, I have perfect thing to ease tensions and promote creativity

(sung)
I bring from Braslovia:
Traditional medicine
We use it in my orchestra to help us win
It help to loosen up the lung
And make the horn sound big
Please, to pass the bottle
Everyone, take swig
It come from juice of berry and the special part of pig...

(spoken)
How you say, the ah... tentacles?

(sung)
It help get us together

[SPITZ, spoken]
What is this stuff? It's awesome

[LAURA]
I made everybody copies of our new routine
With a key to understand what all the symbols mean
Jake, I made a tape for you to memorize your parts
For everyone else, I created color-coded charts
And I put the tabs in so you'll know where every section starts
In a binder, see?
So you can keep it together

[JAKE, spoken]
Thanks, Laura. You're a total lifesaver

[LAURA, spoken]
Sure

[JAKE, spoken]
Always thinking ahead. See you at practice later

[LAURA, spoken]
You bet

[SPITZ, spoken]
Jake! Bro! Broseph! Franklin Delanbro Broosevelt!

[JAKE, spoken]
Yes?

[SPITZ, spoken]
Good job out there tonight, man

[JAKE]
Am I going crazy?
I don't understand
I think I actually like staying late to rehearse for band
It feels, for once, like I might finally have a place to land
Like I could get it together

[MR. HORNSBY, spoken]
Jake, I got a new position for you in the opening number

[ELLIOTT, spoken]
Uhh, new position?

[MR. HORNSBY, spoken]
Dead center, on the fifty-yard line. The drummer is the heartbeat of the Beavers

[ELLIOTT, spoken]
But, that's been my spot, for like, forever

[MR. HORNSBY, spoken]
Elliott, you'll be on the forty. Jake, you'll be on the fifty for the rest of the season

[ELLIOTT, spoken]
I urge you to reconsider!

[ELLIOTT, STEWART, GIRLS]
We gotta do this right
We gotta get it together

[ALVIN, MR. HORNSBY, JAKE, KYLE, SPITZ]
Get it together

[ELLIOTT, STEWART, GIRLS]
We gotta show 'em how we fight
We gotta get it together

[ALVIN, MR. HORNSBY, JAKE, KYLE, SPITZ]
Get it together

[ELLIOTT, STEWART, GIRLS]
Everybody fall in line
Put your differences aside

[ALL]
Let's show 'em what this band can do
Let's show 'em Beaver pride
Horns to the stands and glide...

[TENOR ONES]
The Beavers march together
We've got each other's backs
The drum backs up the trumpet and the sax
The sax backs up the tuba
The tuba backs up the trombone
Nobody marches alone
Nobody marches alone

[ALL TENORS]
The Beavers march together
We've got each other's backs
The drum back's up the trumpet and the sax
The sax backs up the tuba
The tuba backs up the trombone
Nobody marches alone
Nobody marches alone

[GUYS (GIRLS)]
The Beavers march together (We're gonna do this right)
We've got each other's backs (We're gonna get it together)
The drum backs up the trumpet (We're gonna get it together)
And the sax
The sax backs up the tuba (It's our time in the spotlight)
The tuba backs up the trombone (We're gonna get it together)
Nobody marches alone (We're gonna get it together)
Nobody marches alone
The Beavers march together (We're gonna do this right)
We've got each other's backs (We're gonna get it together)
The drum backs up the trumpet (We're gonna get it together)

Nobody marches alone

[GIRLS (GUYS)]
Take your paces, count your paces (Ooh)
Lock into the groove (Ooh)

At the festival, the judges will be (—groove)
Watching every move

We've got to be on top of it (—move)

[ALL]
We've got a lot to prove!
Let's get it together!
Let's get it together!
