Overview
Peter, Who? tells the age-old story of a nerdy high school senior named Peter, who just wants a few simple things: he wants to be special, he wants to stop being invisible to the other students, and he wants to maybe even talk to the girl that sits behind him in chemistry. But after he's bitten by a radioactive spider at a Science Expo, he has to learn how hard being 'special' can be.

Instrumentation
Peter, Who? is written for a punch-packing 5 piece rock band (Pianist/Conductor, Keyboard 2, Electric Bass, Drums, and Electric Guitar). Music difficulty is intermediate/advanced, with heavy doses of fully realized notation for all players, as well as some ad libbed comping in a few different pop/rock genres. The Keyboard 2 book requires an array of orchestral sounds, (sometimes split or layered), as well as classic synths and electric pianos.
Rehearsal/Performance tracks are available and cover the entire score, including transitions.
