chart-o-tron - The Jamaica Plain Honk Band
Born This Way (Ab)
Born This Way (Ab)backlogThis is just a trial version, with the 4 main melodies as unison for everyone but tuba and bari sax"My mama told me when I was young"
"I'm beautiful in my way"
"Ooh there ain't no other way"
"Don't be a drag just be a queen"
Melody wise, Flute is for all C instruments, Trumpet for all Bb, Alto Sax for all Eb, Trombone for all bass clef.
This should be somewhat compatible w/ LMB version (see below) though omits a sax bridge. Also LMB start chanting w/ Dont be a drag, just be a queen which i dig - also I'd like us to consider ending singing a cappella - I think it might be very moving. (also we might have soloists on melody and then everyone join in?)

Dont be a Drag Just be a Queen!
Outro A Cappella:
I was born this way hey,
I was born this way hey,
I'm on the right track baby,
I was born this way.
