Role in episode[]

Fergus is one of Mrs. Sturgeon's students at Little Flipper Music Academy. When he hears that Squidward is attending class because he got a court order, he laughs at him. When Mrs. Sturgeon asks him to start the class off, he strums his guitar, but gets his hand stuck in the strings and ends up tangled in them. As SpongeBob demonstrates his nose flute playing, Fergus and his classmates dance around with him. Squidward then plays clarinet for the class and Fergus's hair stands on end when he hears it. During SpongeBob's performance, Fergus is the first to join him. Squidward takes his clarinet back, and his bad playing causes a tornado that sweeps Fergus and his classmates out of the music school. Fergus cheers for Squidward when he successfully plays the nose flute, and attends his concert in Jellyfish Fields.
