WHAT HAPPENED STAGE TWO HULLABALOO
Chapter 1 WHERE'S Bert Saturday March 17 5:52 p.m. Tonight was the night the finals of the statewide Music and Variety Talent Contest With just eight minutes until the stage two curtain went up the Quetlock Quavers were in a flurry of excitement checking and rechecking their music and warming up their instruments There were high fluttery notes from the flutes low farty notes from the trombones and tubas and the loud clang of a dropped triangle from the percussion section followed by an even louder cry of pain OWWWW Watch what you're doing clumsy That landed on my toe This was it their grand moment in the spotlight on a proper stage in a proper theater in front of all their family and friends This was their chance to shine to prove to the waiting judges that they were THE best school orchestra in the whole state
