American parents would be glad if their children's desire to join rock and roll bands could have the kind of outcome the boys in So What opt for. Even though they really enjoy their band, these boys are so concerned about their schoolwork that they have a difficult time allotting any time to practice. In addition, their peers have a difficult time allotting any time to listen to them - they are equally worried about their schoolwork. When they finally arrange one public concert at school, they have the power cut before they can play even one song. Oddly, this doesn't dishearten them. They were looking for an honorable way to excuse letting their beloved music slide into the background. Except for one fellow, who bravely heads off to an unknown future, all the rest are happy to buckle down to their studies.
