Charles is looking to buy tickets to a Rock n Roll concert to see his favourite band Fraggle Massacre. He goes to the local ticket-seller and talks with Astrid who is serving and seems knowledgeable about the band. Charles asks, Do you think their drummer, Dwayne Pipe, will be playing?

A representation.

A term.
