The final countdown...basketball games start in one week, and you know what that means-PEP BAND! It's nice playing in the pep band because the musicians get a free ride; we get into the games for free. Plus, it's a lot of fun to make my horn sing, sing sing with a group of other talented musicians.
Had a pep band rehearsal today, and since school's out at 11 am for me, I was sure I went and played... it was come on feel the noize! You should have heard the saxes jump, jive, and wail today at rehearsal. They were pretty good. The directer added a bunch of songs to the folder too, so we played some new material, really pushing the band to its limit. Of course, I go to extremes too when the director leads the way.
Now we've somehow got to get the Marquette mascot (Golden Eagle) to shake a tail feather while we're playing. I'm looking forward to the games, because the pep band should be the vehicle for a lot of the enthusiasm in the games. You should see the campus; the whole atmosphere is get ready for this! I'll bet the first game will be a sell out.
Your assignment: try to list all the song references in the above post.
