Marching band is a performance sport in which a group of instrumental musicians generally perform outdoors and incorporate some type of marching (and possibly onto other movements) with their musical performance. Instrumentation typically includes brass, woodwinds, and percussion instruments. Most marching bands use some kind of uniform (often of a military style) that include the school or organization's name or symbol, shakos, pith helmets, feather plumes, gloves, and sometimes gauntlets, sashes, and/or capes.
Marching bands are generally categorized by function, size, age, and by the style of show they perform. In addition to traditional parade performances, many marching bands also perform field shows at special events like competitions. Increasingly, marching bands are performing indoor concerts that implement many of the songs, traditions, and flair from outside performances.
The marching band originated with travelling musicians who performed together at festivals and celebrations throughout the ancient world. It evolved and became more structured within the armies of the early city-states, becoming the basis for the military band, from which the modern marching band emerged. As musicians became less important in directing the movement of troops on the battlefield, the bands moved into increasingly ceremonial roles - an intermediate stage which provided some of the instrumentation and music for marching bands was the modern brass band, which also evolved out of the military tradition.
Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009) was an American recording artist, entertainer, and businessman. Often referred to as the King of Pop, or by his initials MJ, Jackson is recognized as the most successful entertainer of all time by Guinness World Records. His contribution to music, dance, and fashion, along with a much-publicized personal life, made him a global figure in popular culture for over four decades. The seventh child of the Jackson family, he debuted on the professional music scene along with his brothers as a member of The Jackson 5 in 1964, and began his solo career in 1971.
In the early 1980s, Jackson became a dominant figure in popular music. The music videos for his songs, including those of "Beat It", "Billie Jean", and "Thriller", were credited with transforming the medium into an art form and a promotional tool, and the popularity of these videos helped to bring the relatively new television channel MTV to fame. Videos such as "Black or White" and "Scream" made him a staple on MTV in the 1990s. Through stage performances and music videos, Jackson popularized a number of complicated dance techniques, such as the robot and the moonwalk, to which he gave the name. His distinctive musical sound and vocal style influenced numerous hip hop, post-disco, contemporary R&B, pop and rock artists.
"11:59" is the 117th episode of Star Trek: Voyager, the 23rd episode of the fifth season. As of November 13, 2009 the episode had an average rating of 61% on the official Star Trek website and 67% on the Internet Movie Database.
Neelix becomes interested in Earth history, spurring research about an ancestor of Captain Janeway named Shannon O'Donnell who was alive at the turn of the 21st century who she believed single-handidly fought to complete the Millenium Gate tower project at the turn of the 20th century, and would later be part of NASA's missions to Mars. Neelix, prompted by Janeway, proceeds to track down further information on Shannon.
Neelix discovers that Janeway's information was incorrect: Shannon was a traveler that happened to have her car break down in the small town where the Millennium gate was to be built. The intent has caused most of the business in town to leave, save for a bookstore owned by Henry Janeway, who refuses to sell the store to make way for the project. Shannon joins Henry in the opposition, and learns that if Henry refuses to sell, the project would have to be moved to a new location. The two also develop a bond during this time. As it turns out, Shannon had been hired by the company to try to convince Henry to leave before the 11:59 deadline on New Year's Eve. When Henry discovers this, he asks her to leave, but as she drives away, she turns around, and trying another approach to convincing Henry to sell. He eventually relents at the very last minute, selling his bookstore to allow the tower to go forward.

Plot
A (male?!) mosquito army prepares for the attack. We see basic training, which includes an obstacle course (slapping hands, fly swatters), target practice on stuffed dummy human forms, and training for taking off and landing on "flattops" (sardine cans). The trainees get, literally, their wings. A scout arrives with photos and the attack is planned. The first wave sneaks in behind flowers, then opens a hole in the screened-in porch. A second wave arrives in an amphibious boat, then launches their attack; despite the human's preparations (DDT, flyswatter), he's launched high in the air. Finally, the returning troops land, but instead of reaching their sardine-can destination, they fall short in the water. The bug directing them turns around, and we see his crossed eyes.

We are weak and we know that

We load our conversation
Now it's got beginning, middle, and ending
I look great on paper
But I won't bring damage, I need a mutation
I am always fighting this blank mind
(Blank mind)
Already used my one memorable line
(One memorable line)
You got everything that I want
Yeah, you do, you got everything that I want

And you go through, go through

Trying real hard to feel something profound
To understand something that they don't
The only thing that I figured out was a face, a frame, I know it by heart
If you know about scales and books and films, it takes some time til you know that you're down
We're so happy
So happy to meet you
Cause you sparkle
And I'm waiting for it to come
And I'm hoping for better times
When it comes, I will open my mouth
I'll write songs to make you cry
And I'm learning how to travel in time
All to make right the things I've done wrong
And when I do, I will open my mouth
I'm going back, back, back in time
Ba da, ba da, ba da
Ba da, ba da
A reality show is on every night
The same episode over and over again
Friends become foe since I'm ahead
But it turned out they didn't know my name
A candidate good enough for long enough
I have not made sense one too many times
We're so happy
So happy to meet you
Cause you sparkle
And I'm waiting for it to come
And I'm hoping for better times
When it comes, I will open my mouth
I'll write songs that will make you cry
And I'm learning how to travel in time
All to make right the things I've done wrong
And when I do, I will open my mouth
I'm going back, back, back in time
Ba da, ba da, ba da

Where did you find that sparkle?
In an endless progress of acknowledgment, we're found
In our present process of rising success, we'll shine
Where did you find that sparkle?
With a start among youth, comes exposing the stupidity
Where did you find that sparkle?
(Where did you find that sparkle?)
Through the emptiness of celebrity life, we'll shine
Where did you find that sparkle?
(Where did you find that sparkle?)
We'll shine
I want some of that sparkle
(Where did you find that sparkle?)
We'll shine
I want some of that sparkle
Will I get very far with my voice and guitar
Being a well drunken boy from the back of a car
Wasting all of my life on a hope that you'll find something valuable, something one of a kind
Making friends on the way to seduce and dismay
When I get to the top, it's a desolate place
And the line that I walk, it is paved with emery
But I'm feeling content with the money I make
Cause the dollars and cents never cease to amaze
They will shine
We'll shine
We'll shine
We'll shine
Where did you find that sparkle?
We'll shine
Where did you find that sparkle?
Say you have nothing
Say you have nothing at all
Say you have nothing
Say you have nothing at all
(We'll shine)
Say you have nothing
Say you have nothing at all

Say you have nothing
Say you have nothing and nothing at all
We got a long way to go
We got a long way to go til midnight
This year we capture the feel
Our days get longer in the summer
Boredom is very real
Boredom is killing
We got a long way to go
We got a long way to go til midnight
For your love
For your love
For your love
For your love
Nothing is right when you're on your own
1995, the year that I choose to be married
Say it's alright
A long way from home
Just one more time
Promise I don't need to worry
You know the monsters and all
You know the monsters are hunting sunrise
They're bellies cracking as they fall
I fill them up with rock and boulders
Nothing more frightens me
Nothing is scary
You know the monsters and all
You know the monsters'll hunt til sunrise
For your love
For your love
For your love
For your love
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
I'm just a little
Let it go
The year I chose to
You know you want to
You know you have to
Nothing is right when you're on you own
1995, the year that I choose to be married
Say it's alright
A long way from home

You talk so quiet I cannot understand
And then so fast I cannot comprehend
The words you say are not original
But, still, I long for every story you'll tell
Been around in the whole wide world
And you're still young
Growing up in the sacred world
Can't be undone
All the secrets you won't tell
Eat you inside out
Blind her with a made up smile
When it's something you can hide
Special treatment college girl
When asked, stay quiet
Cannot cope with the real
The real world cannot do
Special treatment college girl
Never grow up again
Cannot cope with the real
The real world cannot do
Between the lines, I hear a different sound
For once you try to say something profound
Special treatment college girl
When asked, stay quiet
Cannot cope with a real world
That I cannot do
Special treatment college
When asked, stay quiet girl
Cannot cope with the real
The real world cannot do
Special treatment college girl
Never grow up again
Cannot cope with the real
The real world cannot do
Special treatment college girl
Cannot hide anymore
Be one with the world
The world was there before
Special treatment college girl
When asked, stay quiet
Cannot cope with the real
We write letters
We feel that there are things to tell
You told me about the winter
I told you about the summer rain
You told me about your favorite band, I think they sound a little better in print than on tape
We write letters
We feel that good friends should be kept
You wrote about a secret
I went around and thought of it all day
You told me about your worries and good times you had and the contents of your fridge
(I told you about)
You told me what I did already know
(I told you about)
I told you what I could never rid of, too
(I told you about)
I quote you as if you words were scripture
(I told you about)
You told me that everything was alright
You need to live for yourself
You need to get friends where you live
You need to live for yourself
You need to stop writing to me
You need to live for yourself
You need to get friends where you live
You need to live for yourself
You need to stop writing to me
We wrote letters
You're putting an end to this
I wrote about a feeling
I know it should have stayed in my head
A great art is lost when I gave up
It should have stayed in my head
(I told you about)
You told me what I did already know
(I told you about)
I told you what I could never live up to
(I told you about)
I quote you as if your words were scripture
(I told you about)
You told me that everything was alright
You need to live for yourself
You need to get friends where you live
You need to live for yourself
You need to stop writing to me
You need to live for yourself
You need to get friends where you live
You need to live for yourself
Smoke gloats today
Might have been the last time
Spark clogs tonight
Biding your own time
They try to put you down, stay true to your school
Stay true to your school
Since you're convinced it's right, stay true to your school
Stay true to your school
Smoke will go up, upward and up
Rain can't stop, you're not near
Glade stuck in your face, won't dry away
And I won't help, that is clear
Couldn't take
Yesterday was walking over Jordan
By mistake, it was my mistake
Yesterday was walking over Jordan
These are the things that keep him sane
These are the things that aggravate
Some fall asleep and don't awake
Some failing all the undertakes
Some try real hard but it's too late
Some get their wings immaculate
He can't let go, his arms will break
These are the things that aggravate
He's not talking loud
But something screams it out
On the top of lungs
And big building tops
They try to put down, stay true to your school
Stay true to your school
We model our thoughts so they seem deep
Two chances or less is what you get
It won't help, that is clear
Jealousy, yesterday was walking over Jordan
Halfheartedly never worked for me
Yesterday was walking over Jordan
These are the things that keep him sane
These are the things that aggravate
Some fall asleep and don't awake
Some failing all the undertakes
Some try real hard but it's too late
Some get their wings immaculate
He can't let go, his arms will break
These are the things that aggravate
These are the things that keep him sane
These are the things that aggravate
These are the things that keep him sane
When you gonna stop complaining and start to feel good about it?
... modern prophets are rediscovered
When you gonna learn to live with a feeling there is something better?
Feel good about it
So good about it
When you gonna lose control?
There is nothing you can do about it
Cause honestly, couldn't handle last night either
Take this ... cup and start to feel good about it
So good about it
So good about it
All the lies that, that you made up
She's a makeup, makeup artist
In a trade flick that's R rated
It is real life, life in candlelight
All the lies that, that you made up
She's a makeup, makeup artist
From the girls room down the hallway
All them eye lines, so predictable
The city is hard on us all, but more on her
mood and ...
She was a sheep among wolves, now it is reversed
She has to handle it somehow, she doesn't know how
She was a sheep among wolves, now it is reversed
She has to handle it somehow, she doesn't know how
All the lies that, that you made up
She's a makeup, makeup artist
In a trade flick that's R rated
It is real life, life in candlelight
All the lies that, that you made up
She's a makeup, makeup artist
From the girls room down the hallway
All them eye lines, so predictable
All the lies that, that you made up
She's a makeup, makeup artist
In a trade flick that's R rated
It is real life, life in candlelight
All the lies that, that you made up
She's a makeup, makeup artist
From the girls room down the hallway
All them eye lines, so predictable
And the places where we stumbled
It's no longer choreography
It's so perfect, much be fiction
I could never lie cause I was born with this perverted idea
I could never die cause I was born
Never could I say what's really going on inside of my head
Never can I say what's going on
I could never
I could never
Never ever
I could never
I could never
Never ever
Never can I say what's going on
I could never
I could never
Never ever
I could never
I could never
Never ever
I could take a lot but this is too much for me to handle, I think
It is not a ... to say no to spending time with people you know
(Little too much, it's a little too much)
Who don't know when enough is enough
(Little too much, it's a little too much)
And try to make you feel that you're boring
(Little too much, it's a little too much)
I could take a lot but this is too much for me to handle in one day
All the feelings that I have are focused on my bad behavior
The humans that I focus on are bad
...are begging me for you to be my personal savior
Saving is a favor I need back
I could never
I could never
Never ever
I could never
I could never
Never ever
Never can I say what's going on
I could never
I could never
Never ever
I could never
I could never
Never ever
I could take a lot but this is too much for me to handle
I think that head and heart are one in the same thing
But I tend to lean towards just one
(Little too much, it's a little too much)
Long ago we knew that there always are two sides to all that's important
(Little too much, it's a little too much)
Leaving me with nothing but to let you make all important decisions
(Little too much, it's a little too much)
So that there is someone to blame when I am feeling awkward about it
(Little too much, it's a little too much)
You told me right but I did wrong
We don't know where to begin
You sing me songs and move along
When are you gonna go back there, when are you gonna go?
And then you bring me up and sing me down
When will you sing us up again?
We don't have it, we don't have it, no, no
We don't have it, we don't have it, no, we don't
We don't have it, we don't have it, no, no
We don't have it, we don't have it, no, we don't
We don't have it, we don't have it, no, no
We don't have it, we don't have it, no, we don't
We don't have it, we don't have it, no, no
We don't have it, we don't have it, no, we don't
Mimic myself and replacing my steps
If I was thinking, what was I thinking?
Put it away with a messed up night
Lyrics come out, yes, ...

He talks about girls like he talks about cars
You don't know where to begin
You tell him off by being nice
You know very well how you know so what to be
Your kindness almost makes you feel bad and still you know
That being harsh is even worse
You don't like it, you don't like it, no, no
You don't like it, you don't like it, no, you don't
