Play it, but also keep it rocking. Good.

OK, give me like a...|Like a:

That's bad. That's like|George of the Jungle.

Play it up here on the cymbal,|but really light.

Oh, that's it!|OK, keep going with that.

You remember this thing|I taught you a minute ago?

Yes! Yes!

All right, let's go!

Stop. You guys, stop messing around.|We've got a lot of work to do.

OK, people, pay attention, because|I do not want to have to fail you.

I thought you didn't|believe in grades.

Of course I believe in grades.|I was testing you. You passed.

Good work, Summer.|Four-and-a-half stars for you.

Now, listen, normal kids|would have been stoked to slack off,

but not you guys, because you're|not normal. You're special.

Because you guys have|the right attitude,

I think it's time we started|our new class project.

- A science project?|- No.

It's called... "Rock Band".

- Is this a school project?|- Yes.

And it's a requirement.

It may sound easy,|but nothing could be harder.

It will test your head and your mind|and your brain too.

Will other schools be competing?

You could say that.

You could say that every school|in the state

will be competing for the top prize.

What's the prize?

A win will go on your permanent|record. Hello, Harvard, yo.

We're not supposed|to get started until next quarter,

but I think we should get a leg up|on the competition, don't you?

I do.

- Who else wants to go for the gold?|- I do.

All right. But if anyone finds out,|we'll be disqualified.

So let's just keep it|on the down-low, shall we?

- Can we tell our parents?|- No! Trust me.

They don't want to know.|Keep it zipped.

All right, you guys,|let's kick it into overdrive.

What are the rest of us|supposed to do?

You just sit back|and enjoy the magic of rock.

You mean we're not in the band?

Now, hold up now.

Just because you're not in the band|doesn't mean you're not in the band.

We need backup singers.|Who can sing?

You, sing.

- The sun'll come out tomorrow|- Yes.

Bet your bottom dollar|That tomorrow

Stop. You've got it, and I don't|even know what it is, but you've got it.

And that's why you're in the band.|You, sing.

Amazing grace

How sweet the sound

- That saved...|- Stop, before I start crying.

I found the missing ingredient.|You're in the band.

- I can sing.|- You can?

All right, Summer, belt it.

Memory|All alone in the moonlight...

Stop. Stop. OK.

Good. That's pretty good.|All right.

- I can also play clarinet.|- I'll find something for you.

When we get back from lunch, I'll|assign the rest of you killer positions.

- Thank you.|- You're welcome.

- There you go.|- Thank you.

You're welcome.

- Mr. Schneebly?|- Yeah?

Hey, what's up?
