Music filled the campus this morning as the grades battled it out for the Battle of the Bands title – and the thirty points a win represented. Points-starved Seniors tried to pull a win with a mash up of Hey Ya by Outkast and Pitbull, but ultimately couldn’t get the title. Neither could the Sophomores or the Freshman – only the Juniors could take the big prize, with students Nadine Bloch and Alex Slezynger fronting the set.

Some students wondered whether all the lyrics were appropriately positive, while others were frustrated because they could not hear the words. Therefore, The Spartacus is publishing the scripts (provided in advance to Ms. Kelly and the judges) for each of the performances.  Enjoy!

1st – 11

Juniors:

oooooooooooo

oooooooooooo

Somwhere over the highschool

Way up high

theres a class that i heard of

once in a lullaby

Someday I wish upon a star

I’ll wake up with underclassmen far behind me

Where seniors will lose once again

And we will conquer all as friends

That’s where you’ll find 2017.

And If you ever find yourself stuck in the weather emergency

I’ll sail the school to find you

If you ever find yourself lost in the halls and you can’t see,

I’ll be the light to guide you

Find out what we’re made of

When we are called to help our friends in need

You can count on me like class of 2017

We’ll be there

And I know when I need it I can count on you like we’ll help you

We’ll be there

‘Cause that’s what classes are supposed to do

If everybody was a junior

Across Countey day

Then everybody’d be winning

Homecoming today

You’d seem ’em Reppin Hawaii

And wearing sandals too

Cause class of twenty seventeen is

Surfin’ Honolu(lu)

You’d catch ’em wining basketball

The brain bowl and movie

Tug of War and Handball

Each event you see

And the seniors are crying

Cause they’re gonna lose

Every junior’s gone surfin’

Surfin’ Honolu(lu)

Hey freshmen how you doing

Excited to place fourth?

Hey sophomores nice class colors

But we called ‘em first

Shout out to the seniors

At least you won’t place fourth

Make some noise if you’re a junior

And light your tiki torch

Every junior’s gone surfin

Surfin honolu(lu)
2nd – 12
