Back in the Band

On their first day of middle school, Cranko along with his friends Mark and Steve explore the haunted bathroom, meet their cruel band director, and make friends with colorful characters, i.e. Vulture and Plankton. But one of his fellow tuba players makes life brighter by pranking both band members and teachers alike. Before Christmas his band director abandons ship only to be replaced reluctantly by Cranko’s wayward dad. With just a few months to prepare them for competition, his dad changes their routines, training them with his own unique style. By the end of the year, Cranko and the band compete against his rival as he meets obstacles both on and off the field.
