"March Our Way" is the 14th episode of The Fresh Beat Band.
Summary[]
The episode starts off with Twist in the lobby pretending to play the trumpet and marching around the room. He reveals that there is going to be a marching band parade at Music School, so he's marching around the room as a way to practice. Twist continues to march and pretend to play the trumpet around the lobby. Shout quietly comes out of his room and marches behind Twist, making Twist unaware that he's there. Marina comes out of her room and marches behind Shout. Oddly enough, Twist is still unaware of the fact that someone is behind him. Kiki finally comes out of her room and marches behind Shout and Marina, and then Twist thinks that he heard something. So he walks around the table to see if anything or anyone is nearby, and Shout, Marina, and Kiki follow him around, but Twist still doesn't notice them.
Twist continues to march around the room, still unaware of the fact that Shout, Marina, and Kiki are behind them. He eventually turns around and finally sees them, and then gets shocked and falls to the ground. Luckily, Twist is okay. Twist gets up off the floor and asks where Shout, Marina, and Kiki have been all this time. Kiki and Marina tell him that they were all marching behind him the whole time. Shout expresses his excitement for the Music School marching band parade. So, in order to get ready, the Fresh Beats sing the song "School Days."
After they sang the song, the Fresh Beats went over to The Good Note Music Store to tell Reed about the parade that was about to occur at Music School. Shout then tells him that all they need is some super cool marching band uniforms. So Reed gave them some costumes, but they weren't marching band outfits; they were cowboy and cowgirl outfits. So Reed gives them something else to wear, but instead of marching band uniforms, he gives them Scottish band uniforms. At last, Reed has given the Fresh Beats the right costumes to wear; marching band uniforms, perfect for marching in. Since they have marching band uniforms now, the Fresh Beats march on over to Music School.
At Music School, the Fresh Beats, of course, see their teacher, Ms. Piccolo, where she has a whole bouquet of instruments for them to play. Those instruments include a bugle, a marching drum, a French horn, a trombone, a bass drum, a bassoon, a trumpet, and cymbals. As she presented all those instruments, she ended up accidentally having Twist carry them. So the Fresh Beats and Ms. Piccolo grab the instruments from him and put them down smoothly and swiftly. After organizing the instruments, Shout decides that he wants to play the trumpet at the parade, Marina wants to play the snare drum, and Kiki wants to play the cymbals.
Ms. Piccolo is seen holding a big marching baton, and Twist asks her who gets to use it. Ms. Piccolo then explains that the marching band leader uses the baton to lead the marching band parade. Ms. Piccolo has an idea that one of the Fresh Beats should lead the marching band parade. The Fresh Beats didn't know how to lead a marching band parade, so Ms. Piccolo explains that the marching band leader teaches the band how and where to march. So she gathered a group of students to visually present that fact. As she was leading the students, she blew her whistle and shouted, "Forward march!" to tell them to go forward. Then she blew her whistle again and shouted, "Backward march!", telling them to march backwards. She blows her whistle and shouts, "Forward march!" again and leads the Fresh Beats, along with the rest of the students, out of Music School and towards the park. And as they were going to the park, they sang the song "Get Up and Go Go."
After singing the song, Ms. Piccolo leaves the Fresh Beats and the rest of the students in the park to practice. So she gives Twist the baton so they can start. Since Twist had the baton in his hands, Marina suggested that he should lead the marching band. So they practiced with Twist as the marching band leader, but it didn't go so well. As Twist is leading the parade, he has everyone marching, turning, and twisting uncontrollably. Twist then suggests that Shout should lead the parade, so he gives Shout the baton, and Shout marches and leads the parade way too quickly. Shout's quick marching legs lead the marching band away from the park all the way to the street, and eventually into the Fresh Beats' apartment. After they all come out of the apartment, Shout leads the marching band off into the street again, and they pass by Reed, who wants to cross the street but keeps getting interrupted by Shout's rapid marching band leading. Shout eventually stops marching. He realizes that he was leading the band a little too quickly. Shout proposes that Kiki should lead the band. So Shout gives Kiki the baton and Kiki starts to lead the band. When Kiki leads the band, she gets carried away and starts dancing. While Kiki did have some stylin' dance moves, the marching band wasn't exactly marching. It was almost time for the parade to start, so everyone went back to the park to figure out how they would be able to lead the parade.
Twist eventually comes up with an idea for a spaceship to land on Earth where an alien ant marching band leader can come out of the spaceship and get their ant marching band to show the Fresh Beats how to lead a marching band. Marina thinks that Twist came up with a cool idea, but she, along with Kiki and Shout, contrasts it by saying that one of them could lead the band in Twist's style by how he twisted and turned while he led the band, a little like Shout by marching straight, and a little like Kiki by dancing while marching. Ms. Piccolo eventually comes over and asks the Fresh Beats if they are ready to lead the parade, and they claim to be ready. Kiki wants Marina to lead the parade, so she gives Marina the baton and she accepts the offer. The parade started, and as everyone was performing, the Fresh Beats sang the song "March Our Way."
The parade was finished, and everyone enjoyed it. Ms. Piccolo tells Marina that she did a great job leading the parade. The Fresh Beats, Ms. Piccolo, and Reed all high-five each other, and Marina gives Ms. Piccolo back her baton. Ms. Piccolo exits singing the "March Our Way" song, and Marina closes out the episode by saying, "What a great day!".
