My Walk-Up Song Is:
"My first walk up song is "Time Has Come Today" by the Chambers Brothers. I chose this particular song because i love the movie "Remember the Titans" and this song is in that movie, and this song gets me pumped. My second walk up song is "The Imperial March (Darth Vader's Theme)" from "Star Wars." I chose this song because it was one of Derek Jeter's walk-up songs. I am the biggest Derek Jeter fan ever and I aspire to be as great as he is one day."
