The Music Department

A Satire

Dear Parents and Students of WRHS Music Dept.

Due to our recent success in madrigal dinner, along with our stellar department, we would like to make a very important announcement. Because we have such a talented group of students who efficiantly work together, we have decided to become world famous for our department. How will we do this you might ask? Easy: a pyramid. We have decided that it is in our--along with the students and school of course--best interests to build a pyramid on the sports feilds that will rival the great pyramid at Giza.
We realize that we are asking you to do a lot, and because of this, we will give the students multiple studies in class. But how will we accomplish this task? Suprisingly, it will not require very much work at all! Each student will be required to contribute at least 3 years of his or her life. Because the seniors will not be here to see the results, they must work for at least 4 years. Our music department officers will only have to do a little more work than our other members. They will of course be required to die in the process of building this triumph. You will all be sent home at 11PM each night, and cannot come in late the next day. We expect this process to take at least 20 years, long past the amount of time that we will still be considered a great department.
We are looking forward to this accomplishment, and truly hope that this will bring never ending presitge to WRHS music department. We hope that you the parents will also sacrifice your lives in this feat. We would also like to thank T.E.M.P.O. for supplying us with the giant stone slabs that we will use to build. Thank you for all of your cooroperation.
