I watched "The New Guy" the other day. It was a pretty funny movie about a
Dork who transferred to another school so he could start over and be cool.
There were a few things about this movie that really bothered me. Such as a
midget that played the tuba that they all picked on, but eventually the new
guy stood up for him:) Then in random points of the movie they would show
the band, or members of it with their instruments. For a split second yo see
this clarinet player with the clarinet sticking straight out of his (or her)
mouth like the trumpet beside it.
