V6

[Build - DJ Nova, quiet] Six. Seven. Eight. Hold. [Background rise - section voices] Hold it. Hold it. Breathe. Hold it. [One ensemble breath] [DJ Nova] Midfield. Now. [First drop chant] Fifty-yard drop! Step in the bass. Brass in the sky. Whole field, one time. [Verse - DJ Nova] Every earlier step is in this. Every section brought its sound. I can point toward the downbeat. They are why it shakes the ground. [Field response] [DJ Nova] Where are we? [Band] Midfield! [DJ Nova] What do we carry? [Band] Everything! [Wordless arc - voices travel center to sidelines] Oh-oh, carry it left. Ah-ah, carry it right. Oh-oh, hold the center. Whole field, one time. [Break - DJ Nova] My call was small. That answer was not. [Low chant - under the rebuild] Step by step. Line by line. Bring it back. Right on time. [Final drop] Fifty-yard drop! Still hear the first count. Every line arrives. Nothing gets left out. [Outro - traveling voices follow the brass chord] Round the field. Pass it on. Carry the chord. Keep it moving.
