Wait, where did everybody go?
That wasn't exactly right,was it?
- Not really.
It's just not the waythe music is supposed to sound.
- Oh...
I just...
I don't knowwhat the problem is.
Must be the baton.
There's got to be somethingwrong with this baton.
[Screeching trill]
Oh, no, not you, man.
I'm sorry.
I was justtesting the baton out.
My bad.- [Laughs]
- I don't thinkit's the baton.
- There's got to be some way
I can make the musicsound right.
Oh, wait a minute.
I got it!
Wouldn't it be cool
If I got a giant remote-controlrobot baton, okay?
And then all I'd have to dois press a button.
The baton could conductthe whole band by itself,
And the musicwould come out perfect.
- That would be cool,
Or you could just listenwhile you're conducting the band
So you can tell uswhen and how
To play the musicthe right way.
- Oh.[Laughs]
Okay, sure, if you stillwant me to do it...
The easy way.
Hey!
Thanks, guys!
Well, okay.
Let's give thisone more try.

Oh, yeah,a-one, two, three, four.

That still doesn't soundvery good.
Oh, yeah, right.
Listen to the band.
It's too fast.
I'll conduct them slower.

Still too loud, though.
Um, oh, I'll justconduct you softer.
