Hey, did you get Mr. Finn's text about the Music Fest audition?

He wants to have double band rehearsal.

Yeah, I've never seen him this excited about anything.

Including the time he found out you get a free cookie whenever you donate blood.

He lost a lot of blood that week.

It's his childhood dream to play the Austin Music Fest. A lot of childhood

dreams go away.

Austin Music Fest!

Woo! Woo -hoo!

not sorry.

No biggie. O -M -G. Our hands just touched. Total biggie.

Play it cool.

Cooliocious, girl girl.

What the heck was that?

Words. Did I just say words?

Get it together, Summer.

Uh, so anything interesting happening in your life?

Maybe if I leave my hands here, it'll touch hers again.

No.

care if this was an accident. This counts.

We're a real couple.

Uh, I think we're holding hands.

Yep. Yep.

But we probably shouldn't tell everyone yet. Yeah, they'll make a big deal out

of it.

Oh, totally not a big deal.

Okay,

guys. No pressure, but if we do this right, we're gonna get into the Austin

Music Festival. I snuck in when I was a kid, and I asked my hero, Keith

Richards. I asked him what advice he had for a young rocker, and he looked me

right in the eye, and he said, not right now, kid.

Words I've lived by ever since.

We got you, Mr. Finn. Your dream's coming true.

I hear that one, two, three beating inside of me.

I just can't fight anymore.

Okay, okay. Freddie, what's going on? Your tempo is all over the place.

Oh, uh, new drumsticks.

Uh, drumsticks that I really, really like.

A lot.

What's so great about them?

They're prettier than the other sticks.

But not just pretty, they're smart and dependable, and they're really focused

their future.

Okay.

Drummers.

I think it's nice that you have that kind of relationship with your

You're beautiful too, keyboard.

I'm going to call you Denise.

Okay, guys, focus.

I've been dreaming of playing in this festival my whole life.

We know.

You do?

Have you been sneaking into my dreams like that horror movie?

It's on your shirt.

Look, it's Pat from the band Train.

Yeah, right. Like Pat from Train is going to be one of the judges. Hey,

she thinks you're Pat from Train.

Oh, yeah, I get that a lot.

Because I'm Pat from Train.

Uh, hello, Mr. Train.

He represents the best of music and transportation.

Oh, now I'm super nervous.

Relax, Mr. Finn.

They'll love us. We have a secret weapon. A killer phone machine will set

during the song.

Plus, I built a drum cage for Freddy that spins and lights up like a rock and

roll spaceship.

And I'm wearing this really cool hat.

Where's Summer and Freddy?

We can't rock out without a rhythm section. The judges will think we're dad

rock.

nothing to worry about. They're just setting up the phone machine.

How much are we supposed to put in?

Lauren said just a teeny bit.

You're a really good pourer.

You should see me pour liquids.

Next band up is School of Rock.

All right, guys, play that song.

You know, the one that makes me go all night long. Yeah, we get it, Pat from

Train.

Uh, are you sure this thing's safe, Lauren? The Orb of Doom?

Of course not.

Destroy! One, two, three, four!

From the brain to the beauty to the

Hey, show me what you know.

Give it up.

I can't figure out how everything went so wrong.

Summer and Freddy put too much soap in the foam machine, and Freddy hit the

wrong switch on the drum orb. But other than that, it's a mystery.

I guess some dreams just aren't meant to be.

Maybe this will make you feel better, Mr. Finn.

I still got foam in my nose.

Oh, nose bubbles.

Come on, Mr. Finn, give it a try.

You should be sadder on bubbles.

Okay.

I don't see anything, Mr. Finn.

I think the bubbles came out of somewhere else.

No!

Whatever you do, don't pop it!

It's coming right at me!

Don't blow it at me!

It burns!

I do feel better.

a few tweets, Larry.

Guys, quit fooling around.

We've got to get these instruments back. Even though it's a Sunday and the

school's empty, we don't want to take any chances.

Need some little help?

Sometimes being in a secret band isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Is it?

Don't get me wrong. I love being in school with Rock.

Can you hold this, too?

Sure thing, Tamiki.

Tamiki?

My mother won't let me monitor the halls at home, so here I am.

So, how much did you hear?

I love being in School of Rock.

Ha! I finally have proof that you're School of Rock.

Clark about School of Rock. I haven't even told my cat.

But I think Fluffy already knows.

Fluffy knows everything.

When that little worm shows up early to tell Principal Mullins, you lower me

from the ceiling and I'll steal his boat.

I have some big news.

I sent you a million DMs this weekend, but you must have accidentally blocked

me. Yeah, accidentally.

Right.

Look, Clark, when I leave school, I crawl into my little weekend bubble

it's all about Rosalie. But I have something important to tell you. Not

Clark. I need to ease out of the bubble. But respect the bubble.

And, Tamika, whatever you're doing up there,

Stop it.

Give me that phone.

Nice try, Tamika.

Whoa.

Please don't tell Principal Mullins.

I'll do anything.

Anything?

This is going to be fun.

Step on it, Tamika. We have to get to my locker before class.

If you're someone built like a bird, you're supposed... Surprisingly heavy.

Oh, I need to make a big stop. You can drop me here.

Rest up. We have the mile run today at gym.

Gotta get that phone.

Yesterday was so much fun.

I mean, until we nearly drowned in foam and almost killed the music festival

committee.

Best first date ever.

But after that audition, I'm thinking now is not the best time to tell the

about us.

Right. around everyone else will just act totally normal.

Hey, guys.

Nothing!

Uh, look who I totally randomly just bumped into. Summer. Weird, huh?

Not really. We have breakfast here every day.

Mind if we join you?

Why would we mind?

Get in here!

What? Uh, I mean, why shouldn't friends be able to hold hands without it being a

big deal?

No reason, I guess.

This is great.

I gotta get in on this.

Oh, yeah.

We should do this more often.

Want in, Summer?

I'm good.

Listen, class.

I've been thinking about the audition.

And, Summer, I don't want you to blame yourself.

I'm blaming you!

What? You're the manager of the band.

You're usually on top of all this stuff. But lately, it's like your mind's been

on something else.

It's not all her fault, Mr. Finn.

No, no, no.

You're right.

It's also your fault.

And Lauren's.

And that stupid hat.

It's stupid.

I'm sorry things didn't work out, Mr. Finn.

Me too.

But if Taylor Swift taught me anything, it's to shake it off.

Shake it off.

Shake it off.

She is very wise.

So we didn't get any off the music fest.

Things could always be worse.

Check it out.

They just posted the lineup for the festival.

Mr. Finn, your old band, the Dewey Finn Experience is playing.

What?

Come on!

When I said things could get worse, they didn't really believe it, but they got

worse. So much worse!

Mr. Finn, remember what you always tell us.

When things aren't going your way, you always have music.

Thank you.

I need to lose myself in the music.

You know what? I've been working on a little song that I'd like to share with

you guys.

It's called...

It's the note for you.

You heart me?

There's nothing weird about letting your buddy know you care.

You heart... Zach?

I do.

Aw. And you even put glitter in it.

Because I know how much Zach likes glitter.

That's true.

Okay, this is getting weird.

It's not weird.

It's beautiful.

Um,

Mr. Finn, are you okay?

Yes, Summer. I'm peachy. Why?

Shouldn't we be learning math?

No. Mm -mm.

Because today, we're learning about life.

And the lesson is, nothing matters.

Might as well just eat this chop.

That's not better.

Mr. Finn, I know you're down, but things do matter.

You still have School of Rock, and you're still our teacher.

Yeah, the best teacher we've ever had.

That's gotta count for something.

You're right.

I may not have what it takes to get into the Oxford Music Fest, but you've truly

inspired me.

Starting now, I'm committing myself to being the best teacher I can be.

Good day, Susan.

It's still first period.

Starting now.

Oh, there's my little helper monkey.

I thought I was your helper monkey, sir. Oh, you've been demoted to assistant

monkey.

Dr.

Julian, stat!

Here in the afternoon, sir.

Life hack?

Oh, that's right. You'll need to really get in there.

There is no way I'm touching that melon.

I love being in School of Rock.

Children, take your seats.

Huh?

I have two loves.

Playing music and teaching new kids. And since one of those dreams is dead, I've

decided to take teaching super seriously.

Hey, sorry I'm late, Mr. Finn. You're late!

I just said that.

You just turned yourself a tardy in the attendance book.

Where's the attendance book?

You drew a box on all the pages.

Oh, yeah.

Man, I miss the old me.

So do we.

You know what will make you feel better?

You need to make peace with your old band and let go of all that baggage.

Then you can move on and be the best you.

Oh, I think you're right.

I'm going to do that.

Wow, Lauren.

That's deep.

My mom listens to a lot of self -help tapes when her relationships don't work

out, which is always.

You also might want to join a gym and get your back waxed.

Don't look now, but I'm bringing the hammer.

This is where you wanted to be.

Check out the noob they replaced me with.

Wow. He's really cute.

Sure. But can he play guitar?

He

plays

like an angel.

Dewey Finn?

Oh. Hey, Colton.

Sid. Beth.

Hurley, dude I don't know.

I'm Slade Von Slade. But you can call me Slade Von Slade.

So you're my replacement, huh?

I mean, you look all right.

But I bet you don't bring my rock moves to the table.

Uh -uh. Huh, yeah.

Mm,

mm, mm, mm.

Were those rock moves or were those arthritis, Grandpa?

Oh, check me out.

Oh, no.

It's a rock off.

You got the rock snake.

Why are you here?

I came to forgive you guys for kicking me out of the band because you couldn't

handle my haircut.

Wait, you think we kicked you out of the band because of your hair?

They voted you out of the band because you were childish, unreliable, and self

-centered.

So it wasn't because of my hair?

Oh, man.

I feel like a weight has been lifted.

I just want to say that the Dewey Finuino is none of those things.

He's generous.

He thinks more about us than he does himself. We can always rely on him.

Mr. Finn is always there for us.

And he has dope hair.

I always said you were a worthless jerk.

Maybe we misjudged you.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no. See, I was the one that called him a worthless jerk.

I don't think so, babe. You were the one who said he was a virus slowly killing

our band.

Hey, I said that too. I can't say more than one smart thing.

God, you are such a controlling boyfriend.

We're a couple in the same van, too. That's so cool.

Listen, I came to say that I'm happy for you.

You're on your path, and I'm on mine.

We'll always be brothers in rock.

This calls for some glitter!

What? So glitter's only cool when Freddy does it?

Let's make up. High five, rock bro.

So we're good?

I think my arm's broken.

Okay, everything's forgiven.

Let's go, kids.

Wait, you just broke our guitarist's arm. Guys, we can't play the Austin

Fest without our rhythm guitarist.

We need you to play with us.

Really?

Well, this worked out for all of us. High five, Rock Bro!

Oh, no!

I... Hate you, Dewey Finn.

You got your dream, Mr. Finn. You get to play the Austin Music Fest.

Thanks, guys. I couldn't have done it without you.

Or Colton Delicate Bone.

And after we play the festival, you're going with us on a six -month tour.

Say what?

That's right. Five guys in a four -seat sedan for six months.

You gotta get the middle heat.

Six months?

Unless you're not the Dewey Finn experience material.

I'm Dewey Finn.

We'd lose you as our teacher.

And that would mean the end of School of Rock.

I know I speak for the rest of the band when I say we wouldn't want to keep Mr.

Finn from pursuing his dream, but... Really? I'm in!

I don't think he heard the but.

Did we just break up?
