Halftime Show – A James Bond Medley
Arrangement by Cliff Clash, B.A., M.Ed, Choreography by Cliff Clash, B.A., M.Ed, And Ms. Feather Dream Jones-Clash, B.A.
In a dinner jacket from the theatre club A sophomore spy-dances among the twirlers Along the fifty-yard line all sodden with The stench of muck and summer-sodden heat
The sodium lights cast a wicked glare Upon the field and the concession stand Where snackers in cartoon tees ignore The blat of the tubas, the boom of the drums
The polyester uniforms now march away While James Bond coughs in clouds of mosquito spray
I don't know of a high school band director who hasn't inflicted some variation on "A James Bond Medley" on a long-suffering world.
