We ran into the building. We were let in.

"The lights are up in the balcony," Gordan said.

"Good."

Mr. S gathered us up and we prayed.

"God of Rock, thank you for this chance to kick ass. We are your humble servants. Please give us the power to blow people's minds with our high voltage rock. In your name we pray, Amen."

"Amen."

"Now, let's get out there and melt some faces!"

"Yeah!"

"Go get ready."

We got ready to do this. Mr. S walked on stage.

"Hey, what's up."

"Woo!"

"Come on!"

"We're The School Of Rock and this song was written by our own Zack Mooneyham."

We played (video above).

I played my tambourine. I was dressed in a blue button shirt similar to Davy's Monkee shirts.

I realized Principal Mullins and the kids' parents in the audience. My mom was still in the hospital. Shane never gave a crap.

Mr. S gave his guitar to me and then he dived into the audience. I played until he got back on and the song was over.

That was awesome! We ran backstage. Mr. S was excited for us.

"Zelda, you did awesome!"

He picked me up and hugged me.

"You were amazing!"

Then, a woman with a headset walked to us.

"Are you Zelda?"

"Yes?"

"Your mother is on the phone."

I got the phone and talked to her.

"Zelda! I saw you on TV. You and Mr. Schneebly and the kids. You were awesome!"

"Are you ok Mom?"

"I'm fine sweetie. You mind if I talk to Mr. Schneebly?"

"Sure."

I gave the phone to Mr. S. He talked for a minute. He hung up when Mullins walked to us.

"That was incredible! Just incredible! The lights and the guitar solos!"

"So you're mad?" Mr. S asked.

"Mad? I'm furious, I'm mortified but it was incredible, it was so great."

Mullins told the rest of us.

Now it was time to announce the winner.

"The moment you've all been waiting for. The winner for this year's Battle of the Bands competition is No Vacancy!"

Mr. S was mad.

"No! Boo! It was their costumes, they weren't even listening to the music! Boo no!"

After a minute of moping, I heard cheering.

"School Of Rock, School Of Rock!"

Marta noticed too.

"What is that?"

Mr S stopped moping.

"Its an encore, they want us to play another song! It's good, go, we got it! No just the band, ok everybody go."

All of us went on stage.

"Yes, we will play one more," Mr. S said to the mic.

We played It's A Long Way To The Top If You Wanna Rock N Roll by ACDC.

When Mom got better, Shane got kicked out of the house. I was free. As for School Of Rock, it was turned into an after school program at Mr. S' apartment. His friend Ned got to teach begginers while Mr. S taught the band. We have a lot to learn.
