RYAN (CONT’D)
You been practicing?
ANDREW:
Yeah. All the time.
RYAN:
My man.
Then -- the Nassau Band conductor appears: RON KRAMER.
MR. KRAMER
Morning, fellas. “Billie’s In”, bar 8.
Pink (9/10/2013)
Mr. Kramer CLAPS OFF in time -- and the band begins playing
FIRST NASSAU BAND REHEARSAL CHART. Mid-tempo. Ryan’s
confident, in control. Andrew turns his pages, watches...
MR. KRAMER (CONT’D)
Nice, Ryan... Woah, trumpets.
TRUMPETER #2 **
Yeah, yeah - sorry about that one. **
MR. KRAMER **
Just brass again. **
To Ryan’s left, a whisper-- **
TRUMPETER:
Ry...
Ryan turns. Visible as a silhouette through the frosted glass
of the main door...is FLETCHER. Andrew turns and looks as
well. Tenses up.
Fletcher lingers outside. Then he walks on. Ryan turns back to
the Trumpeter.
RYAN:
Not today.
INT. GEHRING HALL - NASSAU BAND ROOM - MOMENTS LATER 9
Rehearsal has ended. The MUSICIANS have just filed out --
except for Andrew, who’s hanging back...
MR. KRAMER
Are you learning from Ryan?
ANDREW:
Yeah... He’s been great to me.
MR. KRAMER
Last week was a little overwhelming for you?
ANDREW:
(is that a question?)
Yeah...
(then, hesitant,)
I wonder...what you think about my progress?
MR. KRAMER
Your progress?
ANDREW:
I just... I’m...practicing hard and...
Pink (9/10/2013) 88A
MR. KRAMER
Andrew -- you’ve got a good attitude. You
always arrive on time.
Andrew nods. Waiting.
Pink (9/10/2013)
MR. KRAMER (CONT’D)
Yeah. Ok?
ANDREW:
(beat)
Ok... Do you think... I know Fletcher’s
looking for players...for Studio Band...
MR. KRAMER
Yeah, Andrew... Lincoln Center looks out
for Fletcher’s top players. If it weren’t
for Ryan’s injury he’d have been in Studio
Band last year. He’s a natural player.
Andrew takes this in. Nods.
ANDREW:
Ok.
MR. KRAMER
(this is awkward)
Look... I’m going to be candid. 90% of
our players will never make it into the
Lincoln Centers or the Collectives. The
question is -- who’s in that 10%?
A beat.
MR. KRAMER (CONT’D)
So I’d practice. You could start a rock
band.
Andrew takes it in. The implication is clear.
He turns -- and glimpses a poster on the wall: a DRUMMER
throwing a stick in the air mid-solo. Buff. Confident. The
opposite of him.
ANDREW:
I...I have one more question...
(Kramer looks at him)
...Do you know what the process for
transferring is?

INT. GEHRING HALL - BASEMENT HALLWAY - CONTINUOUS

Andrew walks down a hallway. A piece of paper in his hand.
It’s a TRANSFER APPLICATION...
He notices as two attractive female students pass him. **
STUDENT #1 **
At least you didn’t embarrass yourself
like what’s-his-face.
