Today I was at a local music competition, which is similar to the one from the first chapter entitled, "The Field Trip." We didn't get to see Barney Wertelmeyer or even "Blap" but the essence of the trip was there. Instead of the snooty "evil" queen running the show, there was a very nice guy who was quite supportive as organizing chairman.
The bus driver was actually able to reach the pedals and nobody forgot their music. One school DID manage to forget some of their percussion gear, however. So, if you've ever witnessed one of these music competitions, you will enjoy "The Field Trip" so long as you can enjoy it vicariously!
