| Alright, until Mr. Schneebly comes back from the faculty meeting,
|
| I’m in charge!
|
| Say’s who?
|
| Say’s me, the band manager.
|
| Get it?
|
| Hey! |
| Ain’t got all day!
|
| Get moving.
|
| Only 36 hours, till the battle!
|
| You! |
| No one comes through, that door!
|
| On it, security roll out!
|
| No distractions, no delays.
|
| This is for our resumes!
|
| So, it’s time to go, hardcore!
|
| No talk, no gum smaking.
|
| Cell phones away.
|
| Go punk, or start packing.
|
| Get to work--
|
| It’s time to play.
|
| Wake up, stop daydreaming.
|
| Do as I say!
|
| Get those guitars screaming--
|
| Clear the room.
|
| It’s time to play.
|
| You! |
| Go on and cue, the lightboard!
|
| Fade down to three and then back up to seven.
|
| You! |
| Show them the new, hot move!
|
| Right, a five, six, seven, eight!
|
| Look rebellious, act more crude.
|
| Bring your best bad attitude.
|
| Band, get ready and--
|
| Let’s groove!
|
| Hips out, and heads banging-
|
| Work that sashay!
|
| Now bring, the whole gang in-
|
| Hustle up. |
| It’s time to play.
|
| Hands high, and fists pumpin!
|
| Sneers on display!
|
| Let’s get, this joint jumpin!
|
| Bring it on! |
| It’s time to play!
|
| Has the microphone been tested?
|
| Check!
|
| What about the stand?
|
| Check!
|
| Please stay tanned and rested,
|
| and await my next command.
|
| Are the pyrotechnics ready?
|
| I’ll check!
|
| And synced to the routine
|
| Check!
|
| I’m counting on you Sophie--
|
| Don’t screw up the fog machine!
|
| Duh!
|
| Who’s the got speaker cable?
|
| Come on this isn’t hard!
|
| I’m ordering it!
|
| Get extra if you’re able--
|
| Put it on your mothers card.
|
| Right!
|
| What about the songlist?
|
| Printed like I said?
|

|
| Warm up before you sing.
|
| I’m of course prepared.
|
| And so there’s one more thing.
|
| You! |
| Can we review the costumes!
|
| I’m still working out some looks!
|
| Jeez! |
| Don’t be a tease!
|
| Let’s go!
|
| Well, I’m thinking a grunge, punk, glam kinda look.
|
| Look we don’t have time to waist.
|
| While you try to find some taste!
|
| Fine! |

|
| Hell no!
|

|
| Amps cranked, and drums beating!
|
| Don’t stop half way!
|
| Let’s leave, some ears bleeding!
|
| Turn it up--
|
| It’s time to play!
|
| Don’t slack, there’s no cruising!
