The alphabet of soccer

GiThe alphabet of soccer is a song in the key of D sharp major sung by the "Showtime" band. They sing about the A B C's of soccer. They say the letter and the part of soccer that starts with that letter. They all show letters that are their signature color. The part where they say their lines just has drums. The rest has the music. This song is a rap. The kids take their turns in the order they appear on the Showtime band image.

Gretchen Hasselhoff (Brown letters): A-E

Annie Frazier (Green letters): F-J

Dante Robinson (Blue letters): K-O

Angela Delvecchio (Grey letters): P-T

Maria Luna (Orange): U-Z

#### Verse 1 (Gretchen (Brown letters))
