about a quarter to
nine
Some did , though , I guess , for at eight the room was n't more than half full . We sat there and waited a while and did a little singing and cheering . But no one got on the platform to talk to us , and the band did n't show up . So about a quarter to nine we moseyed outside . But we were still full of enthusiasm , and we wanted to work it off . So we stood around , about eight hundred of us , and informed the world at large that we wanted the band . No one seemed to care .
