Silence.
Band kid's: Oh shit.
Rushing around room, grabbing other people's pencil, searching bags.
Teacher silently shaking head wondering why he even bothers.

Band Director: Music check.
Random Band Kid: Holy shizz nizz.
People grinning triumphantly.

Band Director: Today we will be going outside-
Groans going through the room.
Band Director: to practice. So please get all your things together. Because once I close this door you won't be coming back in until the bell rings. Am I clear?
Band kids: Yes sir.
Shuffling around the room getting shit together.
Walking outside, Teacher closes door.
