The band room. For band geeks at Benton Bluff Junior High, it's the place to be. Their director, Mr. Byrd, may dress like he's in the tropics, but he's strict on the podium, getting his students to play like the musicians they are. These band geeks handle friendships, crushes, dances, fund-raisers, jealousy, divided loyalties, missing instruments, parents, grandparents, school dances, solo competitions, chair placement auditions, band camp, and more throughout the school year. Music is just the beginning!
