CHAPTER 17- IN WHICH THE TROMBONES/BARITONES PLAN BACKFIRES
The next day in before band started, the trombone and baritone players walked into the bandroom and found Andy's and his friend's prisoners in the tuba lockers.
"What do you want?" they cried.
"Too free you," said a trombone player.
"Really?" they asked.
"Yeah," said the trombone and baritone players.
One of the trombone players yanked on the lock of one of the lockers until it broke and did the same to the other lockers. The prisoners ran outta the lockers and outta the bandroom.
"Now we have to wait for Andy and his friend," said a trombone player.
The bell rang and people began arriving for band. Andy and his friend went straight for the tuba lockers.
"Where are our prisoners?" Andy snapped.
"Oh, didn't we tell you? We let them go," said a baritone player.
"Noooooo!" Andy's friend wailed.
"Easy there," said Andy, "don't let them see you cry."
Andy's friend wiped his eyes with the back of his hand.
"Ok," he said between sniffles.
"You evil trombone and baritone players deserve to die!" Andy yelled.
"I know we do," a trombone player said smugly.
Then outta no where, Andy and his friend shoved them into Andy's tuba locker and locked the door.
"I always bring a spare lock," said Andy's friend.
"No fair! You sprung without warning! That was not part of our revenge plot!" a baritone player yelled.
"Well your revenge plot just backfired," said Andy.
Then he and his friend stood on chairs.
"Everyone!" Andy's friend yelled. "We just trapped the trombone and baritone players! Don't tell Mr. Reiderer!"
Everyone but the trumpet players started laughing. The trumpets were the trombone and baritone players' allies. Andy's friend forgot that little detail. Mr. Reiderer walked into the bandroom.
"Settle down!" he said.
Everyone sat in their seats. Mr. Reiderer looked at the big gap in the back of the room.
"Where are all the trombone and baritone players?" he asked.
Everyone but the trumpet players tried not to laugh.
"Well?" asked Mr. Reiderer waiting for an answer.
"Andy and his friend know," said Jon.
"Andy where are the trombone and baritone players?" asked Mr. Reiderer.
"I dunno," said Andy.
"Me either," said Andy's friend.
"I know where they are," said a trumpet player, "they're locked in a tuba locker. Andy and his friend did it. I saw them."
"Andy!" Mr. Reiderer yelled. "Go get the trombone and baritone players. Then go see Mr. Shaw for your punishment."
"Yes sir," Andy mumbled.
"You too," said Mr. Reiderer looking at Andy's friend.
"Darn it," Andy's friend mumbled.
They got up and got the trombone and baritone players. Then they walked to the office to wait for Mr. Shaw.
"Well this plan was horrible, but we'll get them next time," said a trombone player.
Then they got ready to face the humiliation from the teasing of other band members for the rest of the day.
