After the call, Squidward quickly assembles a marching band with the people of Bikini Bottom.
Squidward has one week to prepare a concert for the Bubble Bowl.
The band plays badly through the training.
On the first day, Patrick and Sandy get into a fight.
On the second day, two flag twirlers are killed when they spin their flags too fast and crash into a blimp.
On the third day, Plankton tries to play the harmonica, but the holes are bigger than he is and he gets tired of running to each hole.
On the fourth (and last) day, the band plays too loudly, breaking the windows of the building.
All of the band then gets into a fight.
When class is over, Squidward goes over to the doors and says that he is disappointed in the band for fighting and no longer wants his band to play in the Bubble Bowl.
Once Squidward leaves, SpongeBob tells everyone to go through and perform at the Bubble Bowl to make Squidward happy.
On the day of the concert, Squilliam finds Squidward at the Bubble Bowl entrance to see his band play poorly.

At the end of the episode, Squilliam faints and Squidward leaps in the air with a cheerful face.
The episode is largely said to be one of the best episodes of the show.
Tom Kenny, the voice of SpongeBob, said it is one of his favorite episodes.
Michael Cavna of The Washington Post said that Squidward's artistic traits and roles in the episode "made this a kids' episode that adults can experience on a whole 'nother level."
The Guardian said the episode is the second best episode of the show, behind the episode "Krusty Krab Training Video".
The episode along with another season two episode, "The Secret Box", have the highest rating out of all of the other SpongeBob SquarePants on IMDb with a rating of 9.8 out of 10.
After Stephen Hillenburg, creator of SpongeBob SquarePants, died, a user on Change.org started a petition for the NFL to include the featured music "Sweet Victory" on the halftime of Super Bowl LIII.

On December 18, 2018, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the stadium used for Super Bowl LIII, posted a scene from the episode on their Twitter page.
On January 13, Maroon 5 released a video on Twitter that had a SpongeBob SquarePants episode included for a second.
During the halftime show, a short animation showing Squidward and the scene with the trumpet fanfare was used to introduce Travis Scott, a guest singer for the halftime show.
Many fans of SpongeBob were mad because the NFL did not play the full song.
However, "Sweet Victory" increased 566% on on-demand streaming when shown on the halftime show.
Because of this, the song entered Billboard's United States Hot Rock Songs chart at number 23 and the Kid Digital Song Sales chart at number two, behind Pinkfong's "Baby Shark."

A COVID-19 vaccine is any of the vaccines used against COVID-19 (a disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus).
In July 2020, more than 150 vaccines were being developed in different laboratories.
Two mRNA vaccines, one by Pfizer and one by Moderna, were approved late in 2020.
Both are over 90% effective.
A few vaccines also went into use in early 2021.
Several countries planned to give the vaccine to many people, but their plans were different.
The United Kingdom used its National Health Service.
Canada used its military.
The United States sent vaccines to all fifty states and the state governments each made their own system.
The United Kingdom approved the Pfizer vaccine before the European Union or United States did.
They began giving it to people on December 8, 2020.
The United States began giving people the vaccine on December 14, starting with health care workers in New York City.
By April 2021, several vaccines were in use around the world and hundreds of millions of people had been vaccinated.
In late February 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) said it did not expect a vaccine against Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the causative virus, to become available in less than 18 months.
The Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI)which is organizing a  billion worldwide fund for fast investment and creation of vaccine candidatesindicated in April that a vaccine may be available under emergency use protocols in less than 12 months or by early 2021.
On 4May 2020, the WHO organized a telethon (fundraising event broadcasted via televisions) to raise  billion from forty countries to support rapid development of vaccines to prevent COVID-19 infections and deaths.
The United States government started Operation Warp Speed to develop a vaccine by January 2021.
PittCoVacc
PittCoVacc is a vaccine invented by scientists from the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania in the United States.
It was invented to protect people from SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
It was the first vaccine candidate, meaning vaccine that scientists thought would work well, published in a peer-reviewed study, meaning a scientific paper that other vaccine experts had read and approved before it was printed for people to read.
PittCoVacc is short for "Pittsburgh coronavirus vaccine".
Making PittCoVacc
One of the head scientists, Dr. Andrea Gambotto, said they made the vaccine so quickly because they had worked on other coronaviruses before: "We had previous experience on SARS-CoV in 2003 and MERS-CoV in 2014.
These two viruses, which are closely related to SARS-CoV-2, teach us that a particular protein, called a spike protein, is important for inducing immunity against the virus.
We knew exactly where to fight this new virus.
That's why it's important to fund vaccine research.
You never know where the next pandemic will come from."
The researchers used laboratory equipment to make pieces of the same proteins that are in SARS-CoV-2.
They put the proteins inside the bodies of laboratory mice using a microneedle array, meaning a small patch with about 400 tiny needles made out of other protein and sugar.
One of the scientists, Dr. Emrullah Korkmaz, said these needles melt away inside the skin after they release the vaccine.
The skin is a good place to put a vaccine because it has many immune cells in it.
Then the mice made antibodies, or protective molecules, in their blood.
The scientists measured the amount of antibodies and guessed it would be enough to fight off the SARS-CoV-2 virus if the mice were exposed to it.
It took about two weeks for the mice to make lots of antibodies.
APN01
Another team of scientists led by Dr. Josef Penninger of the University of British Columbia invented a medicine called APN01.
These are human cells put together to act like part of the body, but they are not a whole animal or person.
Messenger RNA vaccines
Other scientists have developed vaccines that use messenger RNA to teach the body to recognize the virus.
They say mRNA vaccines take less time to develop and make, than protein or whole-virus vaccines.
Messenger RNA vaccines need to be stored at very cold temperatures.
Ordinary refrigerators are not cold enough.
Moderna vaccine
In mid-May 2020, a company called Moderna said they tested their mRNA vaccine in forty-five people and eight of them produced antibodiesbut they did not publish the specific data or publish an article in a scientific journal.
The Moderna vaccine entered stage-three clinical trials on June 27, 2020.
That means it is being tested on humans.
Dr. Anthony Fauci said he did not think the vaccine would be dangerous.
On November 16, Moderna said its vaccine was 94.5% effective.
The vaccine has to kept colder than freezing but it does not have to be kept as cold as the Pfizer vaccine.
Distribution began in February 2021.
Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine
The German company BioNTech and Pfizer made a deal with the United States government to make 100 million doses of mRNA vaccine by December 2020.
The vaccine completed phase I trials and started its next trial on July 27, 2020.
Instead of being a phase II trial or a phase III trial, Pfizer's team was trying to do both phases at once.
If the companies could make the vaccine on time, the U.S. government would give them almost US$2 billion.
The vaccine is called BNT162b2.
BioNTech paid its employees overtime to do extra work.
They called this "Project Lightspeed" because they wanted to develop the vaccine quickly.
Because they wanted people to trust the vaccine, Pfizer published the study protocols publicly.
That means they told everyone exactly how they were testing the virus.
This is information that companies usually keep secret so no one can steal their work.
On November 9, 2020, Pfizer announced that BNT162 was 90% effective at preventing people from catching COVID-19.
They asked the FDA to approve the vaccine for emergency use.
The company had not yet published the results of the study in a formal scientific paper, so the FDA said they needed time to look at the results for themselves.
The INN (International nonproprietary name) of this vaccine is tozinameran.
INNs are a name for a particular vaccine or medicine to be used worldwide.
Adenovirus vaccines
The adenovirus is the virus that causes the common cold.
It does not harm the human body much.
Scientists have used the adenovirus in vaccines for many years against many diseases.
Scientists take pieces of dangerous viruses and attach them to adenovirus to then inject the adenovirus into the human body.
The human immune system learns to recognize the pieces of dangerous viruses.
After, it can fight off the real dangerous viruses if the human is ever exposed to them.
ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 (Oxford-AstraZeneca)
In late April 2020, a team from the University of Oxford said that they had developed a COVID-19 vaccine.
The United States National Institutes of Health tested it in rhesus monkeys and it worked.
The team took the spike protein from SARS-CoV-2 and put it on an adenovirus.
Then they injected that virus into test patients.
The idea is that the patients' immune systems will learn to attack the spike protein no matter what virus it is on.
This vaccine completed phase I trials and as of July 2020 is entering phase III trials.
The vaccine is called ChAdOx1 nCoV-19.
Ad5-nCOV
The Chinese company CanSino Biologics is making a viral vector vaccine.
This vaccine uses an adenovirus that has the spike protein from SARS-CoV-2 on it.
Then the immune system learns to recognize the spike protein.
As of July 2020, this vaccine is in phase II trials, but the Chinese government gave CanSino Biologics permission to give it to people anyway.
They are allowed to give it to people in the Chinese military.
Johnson & Johnson vaccine
The Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine is made from the Johnson & Johnson company.
Unlike many vaccines, it doesn't need special, unusual refrigeration.
CoronaVac
The company Sinovac in China and Bututan research center in Brazil worked together.
This is an inactivated virus vaccine.
