Choir Rehearsal Room, 1935
The entire choir artists are chilling inside the room, including Dmitry, Vasily, Oleg, Anatoli who read newspaper that Fyodor held.
The door opened. Vasily shushed everyone "Comrade Alexandrov is here!". Fyodor fold the newspaper calmly.
Alexandrov entered the room and placed his notebook on music stand.
Alexandrov: "Good morning, Eagles!"
Choir: "Morning, Maestro!"
Alexandrov: "As the schedule, we will do rehearsal before concert the next evening. Before we started... there will be newcomer in our ensemble."
Anatoli: Wha...?
Oleg: So he really comes?
Alexandrov: "Ah, here he is! Boris will be here from now on as my vice-conductor when I'm on another duty! I hope Boris and you can get along to beautify any song we sung!"
Boris bowed his head a bit, but his lips stayed straight. The entire choir artists are murmuring in tense.
Choir1: "What?"
Choir2: "Really, Maestro?"
Choir3: "Kinda awkward now..."
Alexandrov: "Please take a seat and learn how I train the choir, Borya."
Boris: (sit beside the bass section) "Yes, papa."
Alexandrov: (smiled and lifting his baton) "And my eagles, let's continue the rehearsal, shall we?"
Vasily: (whisper) "Dima, please tell me: "You are just drunk as usual"..."
Dmitry: (whisper) "Welcome to the reality, Vasya..."
Vasily: (whisper) "It can't be! Workaholic like him couldn't start to divide his work! And now there is killerjoy infiltrate this choir..."
Boris turn his head and stare at Vasily with straight face. Vasily immediately bended like shrimp and held Fyodor's hand.
Vasily: (whisper) "I'm sorry, Comrade Boris... You can continue your lesson"
Fyodor: (super confused with Vasily's action)
[3 hours later, at empty corridor]
Anatoli: "And now the gossip about Maestro's sons work here spread till all sections knew it too..."
Oleg: "Aha..."
Anatoli: "I don't want to believe it at first... but... is it nearly the time he wants to retired?"
Oleg: "Aha..."
Anatoli: "Say something instead "Aha", dummy!"
Oleg: "Maybe yes... because the number of the members start too many for him to be handled. See how he start to placed each sections in different rooms now? And maybe no. He still conduct us. He still has his principal to heavily focus on the choir. He just know his limits... Plus I assume he trust all of his sons' ability. So why not train them to work here, in case something happened to him?"
Anatoli: "How did you assumed like that?"
Oleg: "Only by looking at his gray hair now... And he told me directly yesterday about his schedule to meet many composers. He said that he would tell to other representatives as well. Too bad you're already went home. So I couldn't tell you quickly..."
Anatoli: (stopped his walking and crossed his arms) "Then why didn't you tell me last morning?"
Oleg: (slowly smirking) "To think again, I want to see your panic face seeing Comrade Boris sauntering here, hahaha..."
Anatoli: (swinging kick to Oleg, but failed as Oleg already dodged faster)
