You here to mess us up?

You're lousy on cymbals but

a real piano whiz

Um, no, I just practiced as a kid...

Wow he's so cool

A fair showing

Who knew you had it in you

Um, but.

You know the score, right?

As seniors, this is our last chance

There's no way we'll win

without the band

I've got a shot at the starting line-up

I'm counting on you!

You know, there are two kinds

of people in the world?

No.

People who succeed and people

who are quitters - which are you?

Dunno.

Hey, what've those got

to do with a brass band?

What?

What'd you do?

What's up with this?

Um...

it's just the style I had in mind

You've heard this in school, right?

This stuff.

is called Big Band jazz

You aren't enough for a brass band,

but enough for Big Band

But jazz is for fuddy-duddies

For intellectual-types

swirling brandy snifters.

Can't we do something cooler?

Who's holding out for cool,

when our baseball team's on the line

I say you gotta do

what you gotta do

Huh?

You're completely hopeless

It takes natural talent

Ouch, my cheeks hurt

I bet something's stuck in there

Your lung capacity's pathetic

Why are you in such bad shape?

We're gonna have to practice like hell

Are you guys really up for Big Band?

Of course...

Hey, how come

they don't have to run?

You're scared of 'em

Don't be stupid! They can play,

they don't have to

I've had it

Me, too

I should've stayed put

in that make-up class

It was all your idea!

"Fake rehearsing, then out out

"Get out of make-up class, too

Kill two birds with one stone'

You're the one making eyes at

that senior baseball player!

This practice is just

a big waste of time

I'm wiped

Blow at the tissue and keep it up

against the glass, as long as you can

I've got my own damned tissues!

This is so ridiculous

Just do it

OK get into position

Ready...

Go

That's it!

Inhale from your stomach,

not your chest

You spotters back there,

make sure their stomachs fill up

Three sets of 30 sit-ups and

back extensions

When you're done,

bottle-blows and mouthpieces

Yes?

Getting a jazz band together?

They're all useless

No, they're doing their best

What's the point?

They just want to cut make-up class

They're not serious about music

Nice catch!

You're hanging in there

We're counting on you

Sure

What on earth do you see in him?

But he's so cool

With his shaved head

All the baseball players

shave their heads

Let's split while he's away

C'mon, OK!

Where do you think you're going?

Bathroom

Liar! You really have to practice

There's only a week left

'til the game!

Won't even let us pee!

Give it back!

You're the loony one!

Thief!

There's no way this kind of practice
