SCENE 2(Brass Army Ants Acting Group- 7)
Ellie (Sage):One day, Freddie and I stopped to rest by the waterfall of Crocodile River.
Freddie (Lance):It’s close to the copper and zinc mines where the Brass Army Ants make brass instruments, like the trumpet, trombone, French horn, and tuba. The Mighty Meter Gnome is their boss.
Ellie (Sage):The warm sun and the sound of the waterfall put us fast asleep. (Yawns.)
Freddie (Lance):Until we heard tiny feet marching in our sleep. (Yawns.)
SONG 2: WORKING SONG
SCENE 3
Allie the Ant (Kayla):Whew! What a great day of work!
Artie the Ant (Eric):Yeah. We collected a lot of copper.
Addie the Ant (Nilaya):And we found a lot of zinc.
Arby the Ant (David):My feet are killing me!
Amy the Ant (Justine):Yeah, mine too.
Andy the Ant (Sean):Wait a minute, my feet are still moving!
Ava the Ant (Kristen):Hey, what’s wrong with our feet?!?
Andrew the Ant (Chase):The Mighty Meter Gnome is still working!
Alana the Ant (Alana):But why? Work time is over.
Ace the Ant (Matthew G.):She can’t seem to stop ticking.
Ashley the Ant (Marli):And her ticking controls our working feet!
Annie the Ant (Annie):Hey, Mighty Meter Gnome, can’t we stop this andante beat?
(ahn-DAWN-tay)
Ant Group 1:Andante(ahn-DAWN-tay) means a walking speed. And extra
Samantha Tracy work is NOT what we need!
Mighty Meter Gnome:Something seems to be wrong with my Fine(feen-ay) lock.
(Kaelin)I can’tmake it stop!
Ant Group 2:Fine(feen-ay) means you’ve reached the end. But our feet are
Brianna Nicole Josephine still moving- we can’t comprehend!
Dalia the Damselfly (Jordan):Wait. Let me fly up and take a look.
Dixie the Damselfly (Rachelle):Maybe we can make it stop.
Daisy the Damselfly (Mayra):Oh no! We’ve only made it presto!
Damselfly Group(Emery Sanjula Claudette):Presto means very, very fast. Like a rocket ship blast!
Daphne the Damselfly (Emily):Quick! Let’s try to push it back up!
Damselflies:Oh no!!
SONG 4: DAMSELFLY CAN-CAN
SCENE 4(Beetle Bug and Damselfly Acting Groups-13)
Bixie the Beetle Bug(Evan):Come on. Let’s see if we can give them a hand.
Bugsy the Beetle Bug (Elisha):Yeah. The poor ants can’t take much more.
(Beetle Bugs move to help the Damselflies. They are able to push it up to a slower tempo, but
are not able to make it stop. Beetle Bugs speak very slowly.)
Bixie the Beetle Bug (Evan):(very slowly) Oh boy. Now it’s largo.
Beetlebug Group(Nolan Christian Rafa):(Very slowly) Largo means very, very slow. Like you’re walking through six feet of snow.
Brady the Beetle Bug (Ryan):It looks like it’s broken.
(Beetle Bugs work together to change the tempo, but can only move it down a little to andante.)
Bubba the Beetle Bug (Aaron):Now we’ll never get rid of this tick-tock beat.
Buddy the Beetle Bug (Juan):I think I’m getting the Metronome Blues:
SONG 5: THE METRONOME BLUES
SCENE 5
Ant Group 3( Jeremiah Meadow Angie ):Largo, Andante, Presto, when will our tired feet get a break?
Ant Group 4(Michelle Jailyn Avery):Nothing’s working. What are we going to do? We can’t take much more!
Axel the Ant (Toby):(loud whisper) Maybe we could knock her down and make it stop!
Aldathe Ant (Matthew L):Are you crazy? That’s our boss!
Mighty Meter Gnome(Kaelin):Hey, I heard that! I’m sorry, little workers. I don’t know what to do.
Ant Group 5(Carlos Rinji Lucas):Well, we have to think of something! Our bodies can’t take much more.
Arniethe Ant (Austin):(Yawning) I’m getting very sleepy. (rubs stomach) And I’m also really hungry!
Aiden the Ant (Aiden):Does anybody have some crumbs they can share? It IS dinner time, you know!
Anthony the Ant (Joshua):I have a few squished raisins.
Ants:Eww!
Alex the Ant (Carter):Maybe we could lean on each other and rest.
(Ants try to lean head on each other’s shoulders to rest. Marching feet make it bouncy and impossible.)
Alvin the Ant (Bryce):That doesn’t work either!
Alan the Ant (Zachary):This is getting really old.
Alex the Ant:I know a song that will cheer us up!
SONG 6: SONG OF THE ANTS

All:Super Frog?
Bixie the Beetle Bug (Evan):I know who he is.
Bugsy the Beetle Bug (Elisha):You do?
Bubba the Beetle Bug (Aaron):Oh, yeah. He and his elephant friend helped us get to Crater Island once.
Brady the Beetle Bug (Ryan):That’s right! I bet they could help us out!
Mighty Meter Gnome(Kaelin):What are you waiting for?
All:Let’s call him!
Mighty Meter Gnome(Kaelin):Wait!
All:Huh?
Mighty Meter Gnome(Kaelin):Change the tempo first.
Bixby the Beetle Bug (Evan):Right on, man.
(Beetle Bugs move the metronome in the wrong direction-slower-causing everyone to sway to
a ¾ meter.)
Ants:(all groan as everyone sways and feels seasick.)
Mighty Meter Gnome(Kaelin):That’s a three- four meter! That just 3 beats in each measure. We need an allegro in four- four meter. That’s a fast beat with FOUR beats for your pleasure!
Bugsy the Beetle Bug (Elisha):Oops! Sorry! I’ll fix that!
Buddy the Beetle Bug (Juan):Ok, that should do it.
All:Super Frog! Mrs. E! Help us! (repeat)
(All freeze in place with hands around mouth like you are shouting to someone while Ellie and
Freddie speak)
Freddie the Frog (Lance):(waking up) Huh? Somebody’s calling! Ellie! Wake up! Someone needs our help!
Ellie (Sage):(waking up) Huh? Okay, Freddie. Let’s do this! Let’s go!
SONG: SUPER FROG AND MRS. E
SCENE 7
(Tired Ants watch Blue Beetle Bugs and Damselflies pretend to make a brass lock. Ants keep
their feet moving. Beetle Bug brings the new lock to Super Frog and Mrs. E and they put it in
place at the top of the giant metronome at the end of the music. At the end of the song the
clock is fixed and the ticking has stopped. Eight main Ants collapse to the floor in exhaustion,
rubbing their feet. Each stands up before staying their part.)
Allie the Ant (Kayla):Whew! Does that ever feel good!
Artie the Ant (Eric):Thank goodness. My legs feel like jelly!
Addie the Ant (Nilaya):I have blisters on my feet!
Arby the Ant (David):It feels so good to stand still.
Amy the Ant (Justine):I didn’t think we would ever stop!
Andy the Ant (Sean):I’m ready to eat.
Ava the Ant (Kristen):Yeah, who’s getting us dinner? I’m starving!
Andrew the Ant (Chase):A giant picnic sounds wonderful!
Alana the Ant (Alana):Wow. Thank you, friends.
Ace the Ant(Matthew G):Yes, thank you so much!
Ashley the Ant (Marli):I don’t know what would have happened without your help.
Mighty Meter Gnome(Kaelin):Thank you, Super Frog and Mrs. E.
Super Frog (Lance):It would not have been possible without everyone working together…
Mrs. E (Sage):…and using our creative brains to find a solution to a new problem.
Super Frog (Lance):That’s what super friends are for, Mighty Meter Gnome.
Mrs. E (Sage):We’re happy to be called your friends!
SONG: YOU CAN COUNT ON ME
SCENE 8
Mighty Meter Gnome(Kaelin):It’s great to have friends- especially Super Friends like you!
Super Frog and Mrs. E:So long, Super Friends!
(Lance and Sage)
All:So long! Thanks! See you soon! (Freeze in waving position watching Super Frog and Mrs. E leave.)
(Super Frog and Mrs. E exit. They remove their caves and convert back to Freddie the Frog and
Ellie the Elephant. Return to their original spots on stage.)
Freddie (Lance):Wow. What a great adventure, Ellie!
Ellie (Sage):Every day is another great adventure with you, Freddie.
Freddie and Ellie:Here on Treble Clef Island!
