The School of Rock, when I first heard this name from the morning meeting, I believe this must be a music drama, and it must mainly talk about music or instrument.
However, after I watched the half of the drama, I changed my mind because even though it uses the rock as the title to attract the audience, but it is a drama that every audience, whoever you are children, students or parents, you can get some points in this drama. And the second half of the drama, it mainly talks about how the main character Dewie Finn to solve the problem between Ned and herself, between Patty and herself and also between parents and their children.
This show starts with the main character Dewie Finn , who was a member in a rock band, but she can not pay for the rent and she was kicked out from the band. She had no job, however she got a phone call from an exclusive school that the school’s principal is looking for a substitute teacher, this phone call was calling to Ned Scneebly but he lost his phone in Dewie’s home, and Dewie used his identity to accept this job because of the high salary. For Dewie, her personality is to release herself, she can do what she wants to do in anytime, but when she went into the exclusive school, she found out that the students in there beard much pressure, the students were not allowed to release their talents in school, their parents built much standards and goals for them to achieve. Dewie decided to change this circumstance, she helped her children to discover their talents in music and made a band called The School of Rock. She thought she was doing the right thing for the children but at the Parents’ Day, these secrets were discovered and parents showed angry toward she and the Principal Rosalie. She felt helpless because she believed she did the right thing but no one understood her even her best friend Ned also showed angry toward her. Then, with the comfort from her children, she found the real meaning of rock and participated the rock competition, she used her actions to influence the parents that their children were talent enough and sometimes parents needed to listen from their children.
From this show, especially in the part when Daniel walked with James, and Daniel was always answering the phone and he told James that he is solving the business things, James wanted to talk with his dad but dad did not understand his request. In this part, I really felt James as a child, he really wanted to communicate with his dad but his dad rejected him. So when Dewie came to school and asked them to use instruments to express their emotion, they chose to make a rock band not only because of Dewie but also due to the students’ inner pressure. The most comparison part in the show is between the start when parents send their children to the school and when the students went with Dewie to the musical competition. In the beginning, students listened to their parents’ order and they showed their mild toward everyone, but some students, like Tomika, they declared that they do not have friend and they can not join into the class. However in the end, all the students rejected their parents’ order, they wanted to join this competition and they were more like a integrity. I believe the author wanted to use this comparison to tell the audience that studying is not the only thing school should teach students, there are many social skills that students need to know in the school.
Also from this show, I really like the custom and the other stage arrangements in the performance. Because all the actors on the stage are our friends, are the students( Except Ms. Colbert) But they wore the different clothes to show their different identities. For example: in the beginning, parents send their children to school, each audience can clearly figure out that who plays student and who plays parent. Moreover, also some characteristics change also showed in the custom, in the beginning, even though each student wore the uniform, but they had some difference in it, but in the end, when they made the Rock band and participated the competition, everyone wore the black leather and wore black sunglasses. This tiny custom change is giving the audience a feeling that these students are more like an integrity in the process.
In the performance I loved each player’s performance and thank everyone for playing such an amazing performance to us.
