Summary It's always a good day for a funeral at St. Mark's Middle School. Andy and Charlie, two altar servers, don't just get to miss class anytime a parishioner kicks the bucket, they cut out early and play hooky as soon as the service is over.

Perhaps that's appropriate for two directors who seem on the threshold of an artistic maturity hinted at by this first effort.
