Anakin: Quads; J

Xanotes: Bass Drum; J

Windu: Band Director


Anakin set his sticks down. Windu had cut them off after trumpets came in blasting, again. He picked up one of the sticks and tapped it against the rim of his quads.

"Hey." Xanotes whispered next to him.

"What?"

"You know something we have in common?"

"We're both percussionist?"

"No."

"We're both juniors?"

"No."

"We're both-"

"For christ sakes Anakin! We both have sticks!"

"Percussion! Quiet!" Windu snapped.

"What about our sticks?" Anakin lowered his voice.

Xanotes smiled. "Cadence?"

Anakin grabbed his other stick. "Which one?"

"Drug 5?"

"Hell yeah." Anakin started playing.

"Percussion! I need you to be quiet!" Windu yelled at them.

None of the percussionists heard him, they all joined in.
