Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. In just a moment we'll welcome a band of critters called the Xyloville Ensemble. Stay put, and the gang will begin their gig. Thank you!

[A group of kids are at a table, waiting for the show to begin]

Kid 1: I can't believe it! Some animals are gonna play music!

Kid 2: I know! I'm so excited!

Kid 3: Not me. What if they're actually scary?

Kid 1: Don't worry, I'm sure they'll be friendly.

Kid 2: Yeah. They don't actually bite or anything.

Kid 3: Oh, okay....

Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. Now that our 10-second-something intermission is over, the band is ready to play. Please put your hands together for......THE XYLOVILLE ENSEMBLE!

''[The curtains open, revealing a group of animatronic animals on stage performing. They consist of a beaver in a green vest, a gray squirrel in blue overalls, a black bear in a yellow skirt with white lace trim, a red fox in a red and white checkered neckerchief, and a white rabbit in a pink blouse. The beaver is the lead singer holding an accordion, the squirrel is playing a banjo, the bear is playing a double bass, the fox is playing a fiddle, and the rabbit is playing an acoustic guitar. The audience cheers.]''

Beaver: Hello there, my nice lookin' audience! I'm Barky Beaver, and this is my Xyloville Ensemble! There's Plucks the Squirrel, Bess the Bear, Fiddlesticks the Fox, and Strumma the Rabbit. Are you all excited for a celebration you'll never forget?

[The animatronic band plays their instruments and a song to the tune of "Camptown Races" begins]

Barky Beaver: [singing] We're all glad that you are here!
