[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!
