Later, Binky watches a Bionic Bunny episode in which the villains weaken Bionic Bunny by sending waves through his apartment’s ventilation shaft. Binky takes notes. The kids knock on his door and present him with his repaired clarinet. Unfortunately, Brain has repaired it with paper clips and chewing gum so it quickly squeaks again. | Later, Binky watches a Bionic Bunny episode in which the villains weaken Bionic Bunny by sending waves through his apartment’s ventilation shaft.

On the day of the tryouts, the Tough Customers have built an “Anti-Music Machine” out of Binky’s old clarinet and a megaphone, which produces a horrible loud noise. First they try to use one of the ventilation shafts in the auditorium, but one of the judges closes the grille. They try using the machine from the boys’ bathroom next, but Mr. Morris, the custodian, is in there. Meanwhile the tryouts proceed normally. The Tough Customers finally try the gym right next to the auditorium, just as Muffy is trying out. She plays so badly that Binky angrily grabs his clarinet and storms into the auditorium where he plays for the judges to show them real music. Just as he wants to go back to finish his evil scheme, the judges tell him that anyone able to make such a bad instrument sound so good is a true musician. | On the day of the tryouts, the Tough Customers have built an “Anti-Music Machine” out of Binky’s old clarinet and a megaphone, which produces a horrible loud noise.

Binky is the only Lakewood student to be accepted into the Young Persons Orchestra and the judges promise to lend him a proper clarinet. On his way home Binky trips up George, showing his other personality. | Binky is the only Lakewood student to be accepted into the Young Persons Orchestra and the judges promise to lend him a proper clarinet.
