'''Brief summary:''' After Squidward gets a call from his old high school classmate and [[rival]], Squilliam Fancyson, he has to present a competing band at the Bubble Bowl (evidently some sort of [[football]] game like the [[Super Bowl]] or possibly the [[Rose Bowl Game|Rose Bowl]]). The only problem is, he doesn't have a band.

Squidward is practicing his clarinet peacefully, and a doctor comes in, thinking Squidward has a sick animal. Squidward slams the door, but receives a call. He picks up the telephone, and it's Squilliam Fancyson from band class! He claims to suppose to play at the "Bubble Bowl", but cannot make it, and asks Squidward and his "band" to perform. Squidward, determined to play well, tries to get a band. Various people read the advertisements.

At 8:35, Squidward is driving over to the band rehearsal building, angry that the music rental clerk made him late. He comes in and plays six notes on his clarinet. The brass and woodwind repeat, however, the percussion section blow on their drumsticks and they hit Squidward.  Later, Squidward tells everyone to stand in straight rows of 5, and SpongeBob asks if this is the part where they start kicking (a chorus line) and then Patrick responds by kicking Sandy, who then responds by beating up Patrick and replacing his neck with a trombone.

Squidward's band is out marching on day two. Squidward orders the band almost perfectly, until he instructs the flag twirlers to "spin those flags". They spin the flags so quickly that they fly up like propellers into a blimp, causing their death. One of the trumpeters played "Taps", the rest of the band put their hands on their hearts, and Squidward curls up on the ground.

Squidward instructs the band to play as loudly as they can, but the great force of the sound waves blow Squidward's physical features back. He then instructs them to play softly, but a huge fight breaks out. Eventually, band class is over. Squidward appears at the doors as the players leave, telling them not to come to the Bubble Bowl. SpongeBob, horrified at how the band members crushed Squidward's dream, takes over conducting the band.

Squidward finds Squilliam Fancyson at the concert, which is in the [[Bubble Bowl]] in the center of a human football oval, who apparently only came to see Squidward flop, like always. However, the band plays [[Sweet Victory]] with lead singer SpongeBob ([[Guest Stars|David Glen Eisley]]) and turns out to be a great success! Squilliam suffers a heart attack and is carried away. Squidward is shown jumping up in happiness, and the screen fades to end the episode.

==Plot==
+
Squidward gets a call from his high school classmate, Squilliam Fancyson. He's very successful and succeeded in everything that Squidward failed in. He says that Squidward's band has to play instead of his own at the Bubble Bowl, but Squidward doesn't have a band. So, he makes one. Disaster ensues. On the day of the concert, Squilliam insults the band. Squidward turns his head away from the band before they begin, assuming that the performance will be a disaster, but the band is successful.

==Trivia/Goofs==  
*The song used in this episode, ''Sweet Victory'', was performed by [[David Glen Eisley]] of the [[1980s]] [[heavy metal (music)|heavy metal]] band, [[Giuffria]].
+
*The song used in this episode, ''Sweet Victory'', was performed by [[Guest Stars |David Glen Eisley]] of the 1980s heavy metal band Giuffria.
*When everyone in the room is saying "blah, blah, blah," SpongeBob and Patrick are sitting next to each other. However, when Patrick asks if mayonnaise is an instrument, he is sitting next to Sandy. The only way this is possible is if SpongeBob was next to Patrick on his other side, but when Mr. Krabs asks when they get the free food, Sandy is on one side of the room (viewers' left) in the front row and SpongeBob is on the other side (viewers' right) in the center row.
+
*When everyone in the room is saying "blah, blah, blah," SpongeBob and Patrick are sitting next to each other. However, when Patrick asks if mayonnaise is an instrument, he is sitting next to Sandy.
*The German title of the episode, "Hör mal, wer da spielt" (roughly translated: "Listen, who's playing"), is probably an allusion to the German title of [[Home Improvement]], which is "Hör mal, wer da hämmert" (roughly translated: "Listen, who's hammering").
+
*The song that Squidward's band wanted to play was Love Rollercoaster by the Ohio Players.
*When Patrick gets his neck squeezed into the bell of a trombone after he kicks Sandy, he sits down and the slide automatically moves up, which is impossible; the slide can only move downward without actually moving it manually. Then, as the slide comes closer to the mouthpiece, the note gets lower, which is also impossible on a [[glissando]] upwards like that).  The note should get higher.
+
*When Squidward asks the brass section to repeat after him, Pearl Krabs is seen with a saxophone. However, a saxophone is a woodwind and should have been placed within the wind section.
*In this episode, it's revealed that Larry's heart once gave out from too many tanning pills.
+
*At the beginning, Squilliam says his band won't be playing because he couldn't make it to the performance, which paved the way for the entire episode. However, Squilliam actually does show up to see Squidward's band play. It may be he was lying about him not being able to play and just did it to see Squidward make a fool of himself.
*Nicktoons in the UK aired the "Sweet Victory" scene on a continuous loop for a few days after Telewest decided to include them in their cable packages again.
+
*How can Sandy play the saxophone if she has her air helmet on in the rehearsal?
* The song that [[Squidward Tentacles|Squidward]]'s band wanted to play was [[Love Rollercoaster]] by the [[Ohio Players]].
+
*The Bubble Bowl is probably a parody of the Super Bowl.
* Throughout the scenes of the rehearsals, people have been playing different instruments. For example, SpongeBob (on the first day) played the drums. Then (on day four) he played the trumpet. Also, Mr. Krabs and Mrs. Puff on the first day played the concertina (Krabs) and the clarinet (Puff). On the fourth day, they both played the cymbals.
+
*This is the second episode where Harold has an Australian accent. The first is in the episode [[Squirrel Jokes (Episode)|Squirrel Jokes]].
* When Squidward asks the brass section to repeat after him, Pearl Krabs is seen with a saxophone. However, a saxophone is a woodwind and should have been placed within the wind section.
+
*When SpongeBob started singing ''Sweet Victory'' it was marked the best moment in Nicktoons history.
 +
*This is the first appearance of Squilliam.
 +
*When Squidward clenched his teeth in the explosion, they were the same colour as his skin and without cracks.
 +
*This is David Archuleta's favorite episode in [[The Ultimate SpongeBob Sponge Bash]].
