When playing at their school football game, Jake surprises everyone with a complicated drum solo that was completely improvised. It impressed the superintendent so much that they offered to to send the Beavers to the Festival of Champions. After much consideration some kids come forward to present t...
[MOLLY]
The other bands are bigger, the advantage there is clear
We need a psychological edge, a way to inspire fear
I think I found the perfect thing to really strike a chord
Plus the make-up and the costuming are easy to afford
Presenting, the Belleview Zombie Hoard!
[INSTRUMENTAL]
What do 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 away to get us noticed Mr. H. Jake, come here.
[JAKE, spoken]
I didn't know we were going to do this in front of everyone.
[NICOLE, spoken]
Just Relax! I'll do all the heavy lifting.
(sung)
The audience are 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 TNA!
[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.
[MALE ENSEMBLE, (FEMALE ENSEMBLE)]
We gotta do this right
We gotta get it together, (Get it together!)
[ELLIOTT, (FEMALE ENSEMBLE)]
The Beavers must unite
I gotta get I together, (Get it together!)
[LAURA]
The festival is coming
There's no time to sit and stew
[ENSEMBLE]
Marching, playing, drumming
We got a lot of work to do
To prepare for our debut!
[MR. HORNSBY, spoken]
Jake, whole form is guiding off of you.
[JAKE, spoken]
Yes, sir!
[ELLIOTT, spoken]
Mr. Hornsby, wouldn't this form better if we centred 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.
[NATALIA]
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 takes swig
It come from juice of berry and the special part of pig
How you say, the, uh, tentacles?
The kids all groan
That'll 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 memorise your parts
For everyone else I created colour coded charts
And I put the tabs in so you'll know where every section starts
In a binder, see?
So we can keep it together
[JAKE, spoken]
Thanks, Laura, you're a total life saver.
[LAURA, spoken]
Sure.
[JAKE, spoken]
Always thinking ahead. See you at practise later.
[LAURA, spoken]
You bet.
[SPITZ, spoken]
Jake! Bro! Broseph! Franklin down and no Brosevelt!
[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's feels, for once, like I might finally have a place to land
Like I could get it together
[MR. HORNSBY, spoken]
Jake, I've got a new position for you in the opening number.
[ELLIOTT, spoken]
Uh, new position?
[MR. HORNSBY, spoken]
Dead centre, 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]
Eliott, 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!
[ENSEMBLE, (MALE ENSEMBLE)]
We gotta do this right
We gotta get it together, (Get it together.)
We gotta show them how we fight
We gotta get it together, (Get it together!)
Everybody fall in line
Put your differences aside
Let's show them what this band can do
Let's show them Beaver pride!
Horns to the stands and fly!
[MALE ENSEMBLE, (FEMALE ENSEMBLE), LAURA]
The Beavers march together
We've got each others 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
The Beavers march together
We've got each others 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
The Beavers march together. (We're gonna do this right.)
We've got each others backs. (We're gonna get it together.)
The drum backs up the trumpet and the sax. (We're gonna get it together.)
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.), Ah
We've got each others backs. (We're gonna get it together.)
The drum backs up the trumpet and the sax. (We're gonna get it together.)
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
[ENSEMBLE]
Take your places, count your paces, (Ooh, Ooh)
Walk into the groove, (Walk into the)
At the festival the judges will be, (Groove)
Watching every move, (Watching every move)
We've gotta be on top of it
We've got a lot to prove!
Let's get it together!
Let's get it together!
