Thursday afternoon
Ollie
Guys, I've got terrible news. Ten minutes ago in basketball practice, I fell on the gym floor and sprained my right wrist. The school nurse has put a bandage on it, and I can't hold a drumstick!
Kayla
Oh no, Ollie, I'm so sorry! Does it hurt a lot? Can we play our song tomorrow without drums, just with guitar, bass and keyboard?
Maya
Wait—our song is a fast rock song, it really needs a drummer to keep the beat! Do we know anyone else in school who can play the drums?
Chloe
Hold on! My little brother Benji in Year Seven has taken drum lessons for three years, and he knows our song because he's heard me practise it at home every evening! I've just asked him, and he says yes!
Ollie
Benji is a brilliant drummer! And I still want to be part of our performance tomorrow. With my left hand, I can work the stage spotlights at the lighting desk!
Maya
You're a legend, Ollie, and thank you to Benji! Let's meet thirty minutes earlier tomorrow—at four o'clock in the music room—so Benji can play the song with us before the soundcheck.
