One Plot Twist The Story Never Returned To
I didn't see any mention of it on the threads I've read but it's kind of a surprise that the movie does not get back to what happen to the other drummer's sheet music. That drummer gets Andrew to hold the folio for him while they are on break and Andrew tosses it in a chair while he drinks a soft drink. Then they are called back into rehearsal and Andrew sees the folio is missing and hence Fletcher is outraged that the original drummer was so careless as to let another person handle his music that he pulls him and gives the number to Andrew. We are apparently supposed to presume Fletcher grabbed the folio while Andrew wasn't looking however that would have been super quick to have been able to dart up behind him and dash off in a couple of seconds. I can't help but wonder if Andrew wasn't a little ruthless himself and hid the folio, already aware of Fletcher's temper and knowing the other guy needed it and he could play the number without sheet music. He could have dramatically threw the folio in the chair as an alibi so others could have seen him do it and then hid it when nobody was around, then feigning it had been taken. It's pretty clear Andrew is pretty ruthless in his own way, dropping his girlfriend because he wanted to give all his free time to practicing so I could easily see him doing this as much as Fletcher. And the other students certainly think Andrew deliberately "lost" the folio as they also know it would be a perfect opportunity for him to replace the guy.
