School had just started but marching band was already in session. "Band!!! SET!!!" the drum major yelled to the band on a Wednesday evening. The band was being lazy and not caring what the drum majors wanted them to do.

Very slowly, the band set and the director, Abbott, said, "you know that MSBOA festival is in a few weeks. I may be your new director but u need to respect me."

The band laid on the ground. They didn't care at all what the new band director had to say. They didn't want to be on that field and they didn't want to be holding their instruments.

Abbott threw his baton on the ground and his hands went up into the air. "That's it! I give up! You guys are useless! I wish I was back with my old band up near the U.P.!"

Abbott then walked off the field and got into his truck and took off.
