Rather gracious of Rachel, I think, wanting to make sure that Wally’s ex be informed of their engagement. But even though Wally’s been out of Becky’s life for years, he knows how she gets in the run-up to band camp. Maybe what Becky’s visualizing is her meddlesome mom Roberta plummeting headlong off that scissor lift.
Tag: Westview HS Band
Fool's Overture
Band class is in session, and no doubt Becky feels energized and inspired after following the Dinkles around the music educators’ conference. That energy is short-lived, however, as she must deal with OwenandCody’s attempt to waste everyone’s valuable class time.
Banned Director
Dinkle gleefully tells Crazy Harry and Richard Nixon of that time when he made such a nuisance of himself that the builders of the new Westview High School had to resort to extraordinary measures to be rid of him.
Below is a strip (date unknown, likely from Act II) illustrating why the contractor was justified in kicking Harry’s ass off the site:
Bore Stories
To me, “shop talk” consists of discussing shared experiences and common aspects of one’s profession with others in that same profession. This, this is just a bunch of old men, not just pissing and moaning but trying to outdo one another’s tale of woe. Similar to, though not one iota as funny as, Monty Python’s “Four Yorkshiremen” sketch:
First Yorkshireman: In them days we was glad to have the price of a cup o’ tea.
Second Yorkshireman: A cup o’ cold tea.
Fourth Yorkshireman: Without milk or sugar.
Third Yorkshireman: Or tea.
First Yorkshireman: In a cracked cup, an’ all.
Fourth Yorkshireman: Oh, we never had a cup. We used to have to drink out of a rolled up newspaper…
No Direction 'Bone
Don’t know if the book signing‘s been canceled or if it just hasn’t taken place yet. Meanwhile Harry and Becky view the wares on display, including “a GPS system for your trombone section.” Because if you’ve seen Animal House, you remember that trombonists have a terrible sense of direction.
