Marching Band

Marching Band Airdate September 26, 2005 Season 1 Episode 5 Previous Bongo Bird Next King of Swing (production order) Bug Love (airing order) Marching Band is the fifth episode of Jack's Big Music Show from season one. Cast Jack Mary Mel The Laurie Berkner Band The Schwartzman Quartet Milkshake Cathy Richardson Jack's Mother (offscreen) Summary In the clubhouse, Jack, Mary and Mel are practicing marching because they plan on being a marching band later that day. One by one, we see Jack, Mary and Mel do their own style of marching. Jack goes slow, Mary goes fast, and Mel goes really fast. Eventually, they all bump into each other. They then realize that each one of them marching individually doesn't work. Mel has an idea. He grabs a drum and plays it like he is the leader of a marching band. Jack and Mary follow along, marching all over the clubhouse. They realize that what they have been missing is a beat for them to march to. After "March" is played, the trio goes to the door. An excited Jack asks Mary and Mel if they are ready to go outside and march. However, the door opens to a rainstorm. "B-O-O-T-S" is played. Back in the clubhouse, Jack and Mary look out of the clubhouse window. Jack says that they cannot march in the rain. He asks Mel when the rain will stop. Mel, who has his music machine set to the weather, shows that it will continue to rain for the rest of the day, unfortunately. This puts an even sadder face on the gang, and then the Schwartzman Quartet come in wearing raincoats. "Rain, Rain, Go Away" is played. Jack and Mary think this will get rid of the rain, but reality hits them when rain continues. Mary is briefly jealous of the quartet, as they get to be a band in the rain. Jack then has the idea to be a marching band inside the clubhouse. They all agree until the clubhouse roof starts to leak, hence making it literally rain inside the clubhouse. "Bottle Of Sunshine" is played. Back at the clubhouse, the roof is still leaking. Panicked, Jack, Mary, and Mel wonder what to do. Then, Mel has an idea. He goes to an area with various instruments and grabs a drum. He brings the drum to Jack and Mary and puts the drum below one of the leaks. That leak is now hitting the drum instead of the floor. Jack and Mary grab two other drums and put them below the two other leaks. The leaks are now hitting the drums. They try to continue marching, but quickly realize that the leaks are playing the drums instead. They cannot play drums because they had already used the drums to protect the clubhouse from the leaks. Cathy then enters (she was playing in the rain, too.) Cathy helps the three by singing "Drip Drop", making Jack, Mary, and Mel realize that the leaks are making music by landing on the drums. Cathy then leaves. Jack and Mary realize that they can continue to be a marching band with leaks landing on the drums as music. "March (Reprise)" is played. Jack hears his mother calling, saying it is almost time to leave the clubhouse and go to his lesson. The Goodbye Song is played. When Jack leaves, it stops raining. Songs March Rain, Rain, Go Away Drip Drop March (Reprise) Music Videos B-O-O-T-S Bottle of Sunshine Releases Nick Jr. Favorites 6 DVD Trivia This is the first episode featuring a brand-new voice actor: Jon Negus. In this episode, the music machine sound effect plays in reverse. This episode premiered the same day that PBS Kids Sprout launched on television. This is the first episode in which Jack welcomes the viewers at the beginning of an episode outside of the theme song. Despite the name of the episode, it mainly shows them figuring out ways to have their marching band. They only officially have their marching band in the beginning and end of the episode. This is the only episode where it is raining outside. Most of the songs in this episode are not marching band-type of songs (except the one Jack, Mary, and Mel played), but both of the music videos are songs fit for marching around.
