The Arrangement was one of the few actual bands in the Southern Wasteland as of 2275. The Arrangement was the name given to the extraordinary group of performers who were born in 2270. They each met up around that time, becoming friends. One had access to a possible safe-haven in the Wasteland near what remained of the town of Vaughn, New Mexico. The building was a former music store, known as "Murray's Music Store". The five friends didn't want the instruments and equipment to go to waste. They sold what they could and each kept an instrument, using manuals to learn how to use the instruments.
