Marching to the Beat

"OK, everybody! Just a few words before we head out for the parade. Hey, everybody! Listen up!"

"No big deal, we do the same thing every year."

"I know it seems that way, but I want you all to listen up, anyway."

"Sir?"

"Drum team - you are our guides for marching...think about what you are doing, and give us the beat to keep us on track, ok?"

"Got it!"

"Trumpets, I expect a wall of sound out of you. Blast those horns and let everyone hear you!"

"Ready to go, Sir!"

"Uh, Sir...?"

"Sousaphones, show them your pride, and I want to hear you! I want people being amazed at your sound, and how well you keep together."

"Got it, Sir!"

"The rest of you, stay in step and just do what we've practiced! Now let's go - the flag corps and rifle corps are waiting for us."


"Sir?"

"What do you want? It's time to go, already".

"Well, it's just that ; We are all set to head out, we are excited about showing off our skills to the crowd. It's just one thing..."

"What now?"

"Where are our uniforms? Don't you think we need to get dressed before we head out? I think our being dressed for marching would be better, yes?"

"Oh, for pete's sake..."
