The Concert

Our first concert as eighth graders
was magnificent, so divine you see
but just in case you weren't there
please listen carefully.

We all heard the drummers
beating with strength,
the trumpets blaring with confidence.
Suddenly the clarinets
get the melody, playing with pride
elegance and dignity.

We all heard the gleeful sound
as we noticed the flutes playing now.
They captured the attention of everyone
even the toddlers stood still.

The saxes playing the jazzy piece
getting soft then loud again.
The bass clarinet, we have only one
sounded so eloquent, so full of glory.
Let's not forget the massive tubas
showing off with forceful pride.

So, there you go
Now you know
The Speight band
is more than just a group.
We each play a special part
to make each song full of heart.
