Chants

If you're one of us, you'd best be learning these chants. We use them when we march, whenever we feel like being loud, and whenever we need to put the rest of the band in its place. They all know that we are the most important section, but it is still important to remind them sometimes...

Trumpet Mater

Far above the Big Red Band
Shining crisp and clear
Stands our noble Trumpet section
Glorious to hear

Lift the bells up
Raise them higher
Let the crescent hear
Nothing in the world is finer
Than our trumpet cheer

Bring Tha Noize

Whoa,
Bass, how low can you go
Death Row, what a brother knows
Once again back is the incredible,
The rhyme animal, the incredible,
D Public Enemy Number One
5-0 says "Freeze!" and I got numb.
Can I tell him that I never really had a gun?
But it's the wax that the terminator-X spun.
Now they got me in a cell
'Cause my records they sell,
But a brother like me says "Well"
Fred Archer's a prophet and I think you oughta listen to
What he can say to you
What you oughta do is
Follow for now, power to the people say,
Make a miracle, D pump the lyrical,
Frack is Black, all in we're gonna win. Check it out!
Yeah y'all come on here we go again
Turn it up
BRING THA NOIZE!!!

Kylie

Kylie, give me just a chance, let’s go out and dance
We can get into the groove, I can watch you move
Later, you can sing to me like a shining star
But I’d rather do you on the backseat of my VAN
(repeat)

You're Welcome

Hey, honestly we can go on and on
We can explain every natural phenomenon
The tide, the grass, the ground
That was the trumpets just messing around

We march the best
Play louder than all
When we Moose, you'll heed our call

What's the lesson
What is the take-away
Don't mess with trumpets when we’re on a break-away

And the bandanas here on our head
Show that we're the best in the band
Wherever we go we make everything happen
Just look at these terrific trumpets all tippity-tappin’

*strutting*
HA HA HA HA
Hhhhaaaaaaaaaaaa
YOU’RE WELCOME
(SM: AND THANK YOU)

Love Rollercoaster

Move over dad 'cause I'm a double dipple
Upside down on the big dip dipper
1,2,1,2,3 I´ve got a ticket come ride with me
Let me go down on the merry-go-round
All is fair 'n' a big fair ground
Let's go slow. let's go fast
Like a liqourice twist gonna whip your

Rollercoaster of Love (say what?)
Rollercoaster yeah (oohh oohh oohh)

Do Wah Diddy

source
(SM) There she was just walking down the street
Singing (all) do wah diddy diddy down diddy do
(SM) Snapping her fingers and shuffling her feet
Singing (all) do wah diddy diddy down diddy do
(SM) She looked good
(all)(looked good)
(SM)She looked fine
(all)(looked fine)
She looked good, she looked fine
And I nearly lost my mind

(Call and response as before)
Before I knew it she was walking next to me
Singing do wah diddy diddy down diddy do
holding our hands just as natural as can be
Singing do wah diddy diddy down diddy do
We walked on(walked on)
To my door(my door)
We walked on to my door(we walked on to my door)
Then we kissed a little more

Ninja Rap

Go Ninja, Go Ninja, GO!
Go Ninja, Go Ninja, GO!
Yo! It's the red machine
Gonna rock the town without being seen
Have you ever seen a trumpet get down?
Slammin' Jammin' to the new swing sound
Yeah, everybody let's move
Moose is here with the new Jack Groove
Gonna rock and roll this place
With the power of the ninja trumpet's bass
Iceman, ya know I'm not playin'
Devastate the show while the trumpets are sayin'
Ninja, Ninja RAP!
Ninja, Ninja RAP!
GO GO GO
Go Ninja, Go Ninja, GO!
Go Ninja, Go Ninja, GO!
GO GO GO GO
