**Item #:** SCP-332

**Object Class:** Keter

**Special Containment Procedures:** Site 55 has been constructed to monitor and study SCP-332. Due to the danger of initiating a Sigma event, SCP-332 is to have a .5 square kilometer area of exclusion created around it. This area is to be surrounded by a 15 meter tall and .25 meter thick concrete fence. Security personnel are to be stationed every 15 meters, with regular patrols around the inner portion of the perimeter taking place every half hour.

If SCP-332 appears to begin moving, on-site personnel are to prepare for the possibility of a Sigma event. Nonessential personnel are to be evacuated and on-site suppression devices are to be activated until movement ceases.In the event of the successful initiation of a Sigma event, SCP-332 is to be bombarded with explosives for a period of no less than 24 hours.

**Description:** SCP-332 is the Class of 1976 Kirk Lonwood High School marching band. The original 30 embers of the band wear uniforms approporiate for the period they were discovered in, and play instruments manufactured in 1976. The words "Synesthesia Symphony" have been carved on each instrument. Members of SCP-332 have been known to come under a state of extreme hysteria before returning to their normal stance. No member of SCP-332 has ever attempted to communicate with Foundation personnel.

Once every 48 hours, SCP-332 will begin its event cycle. Any interruption of this schedule will result in SCP-332 returning to an inert state. SCP-332 will also activate if any person approaches within .3 kilometers of their current location, or if a noise between 15 and 80,000 Hz is made within this zone. SCP-332's activity schedule consists of it marching around the perimeter of the Kirk Lonwood High School football stadium, followed by it playing the national anthem. Following this, SCP-332 will play the national anthem. When SCP-332 plays music, all site personnel are to wear earmuffs to block it.

If a subject is able to hear the music played by SCP-322, they will attempt to obtain any instrument near them and join SCP-332 in playing. Subjects affected int his manner will report extreme pain if unable to obtain an instrument within 3 minutes of coming under SCP-332's effect. If they are unable to join SCP-332 within 3 miniutes, their body will undergo sudden extreme damage to the internal organs and soft tissue. Subjects who join SCP-332 will march and play until they pass out from exhaustion, at which point they will be trampled by other members of SCP-332. For every ten subjects who join SCP-332, the area it affects will increase by .3 kilometers.

SCP-332 was contained following Incident Sigma-Prime, the incident during which SCP-332 was initially activated. Between the 3 hours from when it activated to being disabled by Foundation agents, incident Sigma-Prime resulted in the deaths of 90% of Kirk Lonwood High School's staff. Affected areas were blocked off under the pretense of a severe flood, and survivors were issued Class-A amnesiacs. Successful containment for SCP-332 was achieved on 7/19/1976, with a classification of Keter.

**Addendum 332-A:** Transcript of Incident Sigma-Prime.

During initial cleanup operations following SCP-332's containment, a 16mm camera was discovered outside what would have been the first story window of Kirk Lonwood high school. The transcript of this video, although highly corrupted, is the only record of incident Sigma-Prime.

<Begin Log>

<0:00-0:10>(The camera is pointed out a large window, believed to be in the school's front office. Several members of SCP-332 can be seen preparing their instruments on the field. There is no sound.)
<0:10-1:34> (The camera swings towards unidentified woman #1. It is believed that the cameraman is speaking to her, although no sound can be heard. One of SCP-332's clarinet players can be seen walking by in the background.)
<1:34-4:55> (The tape is too corrupted to make anything out.)
<4:55-5:00> (Picture and sound briefly become clear, and a voice believed to belong to unidentified woman #1 remarks about one band members outfit having an unusual attribute, although what was unusual about it is not heard.)
<5:00-6:02> (Static)
<6:02-8:04> (Sound and picture return with greatly improved quality, with the cameraman chatting with unidentified woman #1. Unidentified woman #2 is heard off-screen at 7:09, referencing a band equipment supplier known as "Synesthesia Symphony" and remarking that she was unable to find it with the information that was provided to her. Unidentified man #1, also in the background, claims that he will investigate it at a later date.)
<8:04-16:22> (Sound cuts out again. Camera is pointed out to the field as SCP-332 begins to perform. At the 11:00 mark, several persons in the audience begin to exhibit signs of distress. At the 11:30 minute mark, the camera is violently jerked away from the floor and dropped. Several persons, including the cameraman and unidentified woman #2, are seen to move around the office in a state of distress. At the 11:45 mark, SCP-332 enters a Sigma state. Unidentified woman #1 is seen to fall on the floor with burst eyes and lips at the 16:00 mark.
<16:22-18:45>(Static)
<18:45-19:00>(The camera is picked up and pans around the room. Several deceased persons are visible in frame, including the original cameraman. The camera is briefly pointed out the window, where SCP-332 can be seen playing. The tape ends at the 19:00 mark.)
