It was pretty evident, though, that each of the instrumentalists (trumpet, guitar, keys, and bass) had talent with a special emphasis on the skills of drummer Nick Pope, and the cute lead...

I'm looking out the window, eyes...

They work because I compose worksheets and make up whiteboard games, because I take them to the gym to play “Algebra Jam,” because I act like a madman to get them excited about my (rather arbitrary) team points system.
