"Oh and Alex, that is your tuba," Mr. Clark said, pointing to one nearby.
Alex gasped as gazed at it. It was a silver-plated tuba. It was beautiful. Her last tuba was old and ugly to her. Well, at least it had worked. Meanwhile, Mercedes grabbed her baritone and motioned to Alex. She walked up to the top section and sat down to pull out a silver-plated baritone. She looked at Alex and grinned.
"I play Treble-clef baritone. Beauty isn't it. You can sit here beside me. Usually on the first day we just go over the music," Mercedes explained.
Alex nodded and plopped down. She grabbed her new tuba. It was heavy and she didn't know if she could carry it. But she was strong and she knew it. A guy came up to the section. He looked at her curiously.
"Who's this?"he asked.
"This is Alex. She's the new tuba player," Mercedes said.
"Well, I'm Tony," the guy said as he walked to pick up a tuba.
"Uh..nice to meet youTony," Alex said.
"This makes 6 now,"he said to Mercedes.
"Yup, tuba section is getting big," she said nodding.
"Sit down everyone!" Mr. Clark yelled and everyone calmed down.
"This is a new year and we have a few new members. Please make them feel welcome," he said looking at Alex, "Now, we'll take a look at the music. Come down here and Kasey and Mercedes will hand you your music."
Everyone got into a single file line. 'Wow this line is huge,' Alex thought. Soon she was up front and Mercedes handed her the music. Alex looked over it. It was music to Aladdin. She groaned inwardly. So this school did Disney music. Why could the school do something cool? Well at least the director had made it himself. She trudged back up to the tuba section and started to look the music over. It seemed pretty easy. After a while, all the music was handed out. Mercedes and Kasey took their seats.
"Please look over the music!" Mr. Clark shouted and some actually did.
Most people started to talk. It has been a while since the band had been together. Mercedes passed Kasey a note and whatever it said, he nodded to it. Alex actually looked at her music. Mr. Clark didn't really seem to care that people weren't looking at it.
Mercedes turned to Alex. "So do you like the game Dungeons and Dragons?"
"What?" Alex said looking up. "What's that?"
"It is a role playing game. Kasey, me, Mr. Clark, Potter and a few others play it. That is what the note said. You should come sit in a session," Mercedes said.
"Uh ok, but I really think you should get back to your music," Alex said.
Alex didn't know what kind of geeks she was dealing with here but this game seemed weird. Soon Mr. Clark yelled again and they started to go over the music. It was really bad. They all were sight-reading and no one seemed able to do it.
"Chair tryouts and parts will be Friday!" Mr. Clark said when they were done. "LUNCH!"
Everyone stood up and rushed to get their lunches. Mercedes grabbed Alex. "You'll come with us!"she said.
These were her new friends....What was she getting into?
