The Beavercreek High School Marching Band presents The music of “Tears For Fears” Musical selections include: Shout Everybody Wants To Rule The World Broken Head Over Heels Listen

Program Notes: Welcome to your life; thereʼs no turning back The aggressive, tech-no-funk music of TEARS FOR FEARS will be presented by the Beavercreek High School Marching Band in 2008. The music asks us to examine the way we handle our internal and external issues. Each of us struggles with the personal challenges of relationships, family, and self-esteem. At times we may feel hopeless, powerless, or out of control. Shout! Shout! Let It All Out These are the things I canʼt do without As we wrestle with our own inner beast, we also fear for a planet in peril. Poverty, war, and a threatening global condition move us toward action or helpless failure. I canʼt stand this indecision married with a lack of vision Everybody wants to rule the world I canʼt stop believing everything will be alright Broken, we are broken Our performance will mirror darkness and rage with that of strength and hope, of learning how to really care and being passionate about what we believe. Something happens and Iʼm head over heels I never find out till Iʼm head over heels Throughout our lives, there are times to stand up for what is right and what is wrong times to SHOUT! Equally as important are the times to be quiet and listen to listen to other ideas and listen to your heart. And when you’ve taken down your guard If I could change your mind Iʼd really like to The 2008 Beavercreek High School Marching Band Show challenges us to find our inner wisdom and choose the right time to Shout and the right time to Listen. When we achieve that balance we achieve serenity, where pain and disappointment coexist with a peaceful and progressive future, where each day is new with no more worry. Cumpleanos chica, no hay preocuparse... Music and lyrics by Roland Orzabal, Curt Smith, Ian Stanley, and Chris Hughes Music arrangements by Jay C. Rees and Douglas McCullough
