wannabe rock star with big dreams, Dewey finds himself in urgent need of some

job at the prestigious Horace Green prep school, where he turns his class of
straight-A students into a rock group and enters them into the Battle of the
Bands.

uptight, Rosalie is the headmistress of Horace Green School. She has a secret
love of rock music, and yearns to recapture the carefree spirit of youth.

friend of Dewey’s, and the two currently share a flat with Ned’s girlfriend

his music, but tends to let his bossy girlfriend Patty tell him what to do.
