A DRUM CORPS PRAYER

We ask the Lord above us

Send down Thy Guiding Light

And be our Acting Chairman

On this contest night.

We've gathered here this evening

For our work to never cease,

Encourage us to continue on

In friendship, love and peace.

Reward us, Lord, with favors

For the efforts we implore,

For we are the members of

This drum and bugle corps.

Sam J. Embiscuso
