The Rainbow Academy (Original Cast Recording)
Extraordinary
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 AND TRAVIS
Elliot!
DAVID
It is motioned
TRAVIS
Seconded
MATT, DAVID AND 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?
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 AND FARID
Sure
MATT
Everyone, raise your hand (Ooo)
If you are good with that (Ooo)
Great. Any opposed? (Ooo)
IAN
Counselor Travis and Counselor Farid
Moved and seconded
That the group be called
IAN, TRAVIS AND 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
