Summary
Billy, a young student excited about the orchestra's visit, struggles to contain his enthusiasm and follow instructions. Throughout the day, he repeatedly breaks the rules by singing, leaving the line, asking questions during announcements, and cutting in line to play the cello. Each time, he is redirected by his teacher or classmates. During his cello playing opportunity, he breaks a bow hair and feels ashamed, but a high school musician reassures him that mistakes are part of learning. By the end of the day, Billy demonstrates improved self-control, staying in line and waiting patiently, showing he has learned from his experiences. The resolution is Billy learning to manage his excitement and follow instructions, with the support and understanding of those around him.
