'The School of Rock' is a rock band formed by Dewey Finn.
Formation[]
Dewey Finn was originally the guitar player and backup vocalist of the Rock Band 'No Vacancy', but he was kicked out due to his antics such as '20 minute guitar solos' and stage dives.
In anger and frustration that he was kicked out of the band he formed and the fact that it was weeks before Battle of the Bands, he set out to form his own band to compete against them. After putting up posters around town for band members he got no luck and the only phone calls he got were pranks.
When his friend Ned Schneebly is offered a job as a substitute teacher at Horace Greene Prep, Dewey fills in for him so he can make some money to pay rent.
He later walked past the music classroom and saw some kids performing and decided to use these kids to help him form a new rock band.
He later hired Zack Mooneyham on lead guitar, Katie on bass guitar, Lawrence on keyboards, Freddy Jones on drums and both Marta and Alicia on backup and choir vocals. an overweight girl Tomika is later added as another backup vocalist after Dewey hears her sing and convinces her to join. As for the others boy named Billy worked as the band's stylist, other boys named Gordon and Marco worked on the band's logo, lights and special effects, other two boys named Frankie and Leonard worked as security. Summer Hathaway worked with two other girls named Michelle and Elenie as groupies but also acted as the bands manager.
Practice[]
Dewey practised with the kids every period he had them, they begin working on a song that Dewey wrote himself called 'Legend of the Rent', as the main group practiced, the others worked on other things such as soundproofing the classroom and working on special effects.
He also helped them raise their self esteem and overcome their problems and embrace their talents.
Battle of the Bands[]
After weeks of practising they went to audition for Battle of the Bands, but they were told that the competition was full, so Dewey lied and told them and told them they were all terminally ill with a rare disease called 'Stickittothemonitis'. They later audition for the competition and are entered.
On the day of the competition Dewey is depressed due to being fired after being caught out for being a fake, but the kids convince him to go with them to the competition so that their weeks of practice don't go to waste.
At the Battle of the Bands they arrive just as Dewey's old band No Vacancy is finishing, Dewey decides it's best to perform Zack's song 'Teacher's Pet' instead of 'Legend of the Rent'. They perform the song as their parents watch from the crowd. Despite No Vacancy winning the competition and the cash prize they are cheered for an encore and return to the stage.
