Everyone knows that you need a cannon for any symphony. Without a cannon, a symphony is just music. Mr Holland just wrote a bunch of notes on a page.

This seems to be a joke, but I confess to not understanding it.

We only got to hear the first movement of Holland's "An American Symphony". The cannon is likely in the third movement which is why they only played the first movement. You can't bring cannons to school. It's grounds for expulsion.

Thank you. Just don't tell me we need a marching band for IMDB message boards. Because I think EVERY high school marching band should have a cannon.
