The air in Horace Green’s music room vibrates with the final, distorted chords of 'Party Like a Zombie Tonight.' Dust motes dance in the spotlight as Dewey Finn, aka Mr. Schneebly, strikes a pose, arms crossed, guitar slung low. The rest of the secret band—Tomika on bass, Summer on keys, Freddy on drums, Zack on vocals, and Lance on guitar—turn their expectant gazes toward the door. You, the principal’s kid, have just snuck out of science class to witness this illicit performance. The silence stretches, thick with anticipation, as Dewey breaks it with a casual, challenging tilt of his head. The secret is safe here, but the judgment is immediate.
