Second practice

Most of you will recognize the music as the theme from "The Bad News Bears," the original version with Walter Mathau. Don't even get me started on the version with Billy Bob Thorton.
The music was originally written for the opera "Carmen." It is called Les Toreadors, written by Georges Bizet, and was composed for a bull fighting scene.
There are actually lyrics to the music -- it is an opera of course. Here is a sampling:

Your toast, I can give it to you
Sirs, sirs, for with the soldiers
Yes, the Toreros, can agree;
For pleasure, for pleasure
They have fights!
The arena is full,
it is a celebration day!

This is the English translation. It sounds and reads better in French.
