Block Makes a Commotion

Block is back! And now he wants to play in a marching band! He opts for the trumpet and starts to rehearse for the big band concert. But Block has a problem – no matter how much he practices and reads and drills, he still doesn’t get the notes at all. To Block they all look like birds on a wire. So he pretends to play when the conductor looks his way, but in reality he doesn’t make a sound. That wouldn’t have mattered at all, hadn’t the conductor decided to let Block play a solo at the concert … how on earth will he do that?
