Mr. Ballard is fired from Sydney and Michael's school after Darryl encourages him to stand up for himself when the budget for his school musical is cut. Darryl hires him on at the vending comapny, but he brings productivity way down. So Darryl decides to go to the school superintendant to try to get Mr. Ballard his job back. He ends up striking a deal where Mr. Ballard can do his school musical if Darryl funds it. At the last minute, the superintendant sells all of the school's musical instruments, so Ballard puts on a take-off on ""Stomp"" called ""Whomp,"" and all-percussion show using sports equipment and trash can lids. Everyone loves the show and pressures the superintendant into giving Ballard his job back.
