Music Department

It's the place where the musical people of the school, as well as many of the Music teachers live, leaving only briefly for food, sunlight, fresh air, some "peace and quiet" or to perform their art to the rest of the school, often forcibly. There is always something you can do, and always a band you can join. If you are good at a musical instrument then Music can be a great lesson for you, and most of the music department will like you. If you don't think you are particularly musically talented, turn up anyway, and wave your arms around enthusiastically. Jazz hands are also useful.
