New York Times Building, 3:00 pm, The St. Patrick's Day Concert
POV: Narrator
"Good Afternoon, and thank you'se for comin' to our virtual St. Patrick's Day Concert presented to ya by the Newsies." Spot Conlon started as the stream began. Little did they know, these types of announcements would be something occurring for around 18 months. The Concert was held in the Snack Room with the New York Times staff being the only physical audience. They were able to have the Slaton Sisters (Amy and Tammy who starred on 1,000 Pound Sisters) fill in. Usually, for every concert, they found a guest conductor to come work with the band, but Spot decided that he would conduct the band for the concert. Spot took out his baton, counted from 4, and they began playing.
The Newsie Band Players:
Spot Conlon, Director
Sarah Jacobs, Flute - Racetrack Higgins, Oboe - Crutchy Morris, Bassoon - Skittery, Clarinet 1 - Snitch, Clarinet 2 - Itey, Clarinet 3 - Romeo, Alto Clarinet - Amy Slaton, Bass Clarinet - Mush Meyers, Alto Sax 1 - Morris Delancey, Alto Sax 2 - Oscar Delancey, Tenor Sax - Tammy Slaton, Bari Sax - Davey Jacobs, Trumpet 1 - Bryan Denton, Trumpet 2 - Specs, Horn 1 - Kid Blink, Horn 2 - Pie Eater, Trombone 1 - Snipeshooter, Trombone 2 - Boots, Baritone/Euphonium - Dutchy, Tuba - Jack Kelly, Percussion - Bumlets, Percussion - Les Jacobs, Percussion
They performed four songs--Pirates of the Caribbean, arr. Michael Sweeney; Down A Country Lane, arr. Patterson; Music from Brave, arr. Michael Sweeney; and The Lion King, arr. John Higgins.
After the concert was finished, Spot and the rest were hopeful that they would be able to still plan for the annual Festival where they featured a massive production of guest musicians who were part of a combined Band, Chorus, and Orchestra as well as a production of the "Newsies" show. First, the Star-Spangled Banner was performed followed by the Battle Hymn of the Republic. A selection of other songs was performed by various ensembles, and the show ended with the Newsies singing and dancing in the streets in front of major crowds.
After the Snack Room was cleaned up, and when everyone was on the veranda behind the New York Times building, Jack noticed that Amy and Tammy were fighting.
"Try being my size, Amy.
You don't.
Know.
How.
It is."
Tammy said. "There's stuff YOU CAN do, you wanna be a big baby about everything," Amy yelled back. "I ain't the baby, you're the godamn baby!" "Grow up!" "You first." "Bitch I've been grown, I paid my bills, my bills are PAIDT!" There was a short pause. "GRRRRR!!" Tammy grunted as she couldn't find any more comebacks to throw at Amy. "Ey, ey, ey! What the hell is happenin' here!?" Jack shouted. The Newsies turned and looked at the Slaton Sisters. "Tammy's bein' a big bitch about everything, as usual." As Tammy was about to respond, her wheelchair began to roll back onto the extremely long ramp leading down to the sidewalk. "Yep, there she goes," Amy said, rolling her eyes. "I told her she needed to get off of that thang!" Her wheelchair eventually came to a stop. "I'll go get er'. Nice playing with you, boys!" Amy said. "See ya!" Jack said.
