lyrics

ALL:
Ooo…

MATT:
A band of brothers join in union
To provoke each other to good works
In looking to the wants of the poor
Searching after objects of charity
And administering
To their wants and needs
To assist;
Strengthening virtues
Correcting the morals
Of their school and neighbors

ELLIOT:
It works but it’s a bit verbose

IAN:
No, I think it’s just wordy

TRAVIS:
We may not actually get anything done
If we don’t have someone to make it happen

MATT:
I propose that we elect a presiding officer
And let him choose two counselors
To assist in official responsibilities

MATT/DAVID/TRAVIS:
Elliot!

DAVID:
It is motioned

TRAVIS:
Seconded

MATT/DAVID/TRAVIS:
Unanimously elected as president

MATT:
An elect brother
An elder in Israel

IAN:
To look to the wants of the needy

FARID:
Be a pattern of virtue

MATT:
Teach our brothers
To edify, be useful

And be extraordinary
What we’re doing is extraordinary
The Loren Brothers
Rainbow Academy
What we’re doing is extraordinary

ELLIOT:
Why am I president
If this was Matt’s idea?

MATT:
You’re very accountable
When it comes to planning

FARID:
You are a bit excessive with your calendar
Choose some counselors

ELLIOT:
Travis, you’re my roommate
And Farid, we spend lots of time together anyways
Do you want to be my counselors?

TRAVIS/FARID:
Sure

MATT:
Everyone, raise your hand
If you are good with that
Great. Any opposed?

IAN:
Counselor Travis and Counselor Farid
Moved and seconded
That the group be called

IAN/TRAVIS/FARID:
“The Loren Brothers
Rainbow Academy”

MATT:
To give a more definite and
Extended idea of the Institution

ALL BUT:
Brother Matthew

MATT:
I propose "academy”
Be replaced with “society”

ALL BUT:
Elliot

ELLIOT:
Well the popularity of the word “society”
Is one of great objection
We do not wish
To be confused with rebellion
If we call ourselves a society
We might be considered a fraternity
Which at this school is unlawful

MATT:
We want to look
To the wants of the needy

ALL:
Be a pattern of virtue
Teach our brothers
To edify, be useful, and

Be extraordinary
What we’re doing is extraordinary
The Loren Brothers
Rainbow Academy
What we’re doing is extraordinary

When a boat is stuck on the rapids
With a multitude on board
We will respond to the pressing call
We expect extraordinary occasions
And call for relief
You can expect our Academy

To be extraordinary,
What we’re doing is extraordinary
The Loren Brothers
Rainbow Academy
What we’re doing is extraordinary
Responding to the call, extraordinary
What we’re doing is extraordinary
The Loren Brothers
Rainbow Academy
What we’re doing is extraordinary

MATT:
Extraordinary

TRAVIS:
Extraordinary

IAN:
Extraordinary

DAVID/ELLIOT/FARID:
Extraordinary

ALL:
Extraordinary!
