This is a poem I wrote three days ago. Our marching band was warming up for our halftime show for the high school football game, our first 'performance' in uniform, and I noticed how the sky was completely covered by clouds, which was the inspiration for the poem. Please read and enjoy!

Music Under a Gray Sky

We stand

Warming up

There is no blue

To watch us

Only drab gray clouds that

Throw the vibrant color of

Our uniform

Into greyscale

Our scales

Echo around the quad

A pause

We hear the

Announcer’s voice far

Off

“Time to go,”

The assistant director says we

Assemble

Into a block and

Head to the field
