An ode to Drumline- By Ryan Krueger
“An Ode to Drumline”
Quads, snares, and basses
Drumline is the rhythm of the band
Your members are great and thought of as aces
Strong and constant as you stand
Crashing, bashing, and forever steady
Pounding resonates from the hand
At the games you’re always ready
To play the cadences we all adore
Many times I’ve heard that medley
Your beats are never a bore
They are always fun to hear
We feel them in our very core
Always loud and sincere
You constantly make the crowd cheer
I love the cadences with a beat
Listening to them gives me a thrill
It makes me want to stomp my feet
The power of the group and it’s will
It’s supremacy and might
Never cease to give a chill
Continuously playing and putting up a fight
Striking the heads with monstrous blows
Your sticks hammering, it is such a great sight
Crowds of people flock to the shows
To worship the source of what they like the most
As rhythm flows from head to toes
You certainly have the right to boast
I believe you deserve a toast.
In drumline I have made many my friend
I will remember them always
It is heartbreaking that this has to be the end
We had fun marching through the hallways
Dismissing busy students early from class
We always looked forward to these pep rally days
Drumline will forever hail over the brass
And stand above the woodwinds as well
These facts I’m certain will never pass
The bond of this group I tell
Is strong and will never die
For it has survived fine times as well as hell
The final season has passed, I must say goodbye
I remember the times and end with a sigh.
