Band Auditions

First topic message reminder :

Holly set up the stage with a flick of her wand and settled herself behind a desk in front of the stage.
She and the other band members were looking for another guitarist.
She placed her clipboard in front of her and let the auditions begin.

Holly nodded again, just thinking.

"True." Shadow said, shrugging.

Holly swallowed and after a while said, "So, anyone want a slushie?"

"ME!" yelled Natalie, putting her hand up rapidly as just she did in class.

"WOO!" Holly said grinning, and summoned two slushies, "Thats why i luv ya sis!"

"Dude...too much love," said Natalie, pretending to wince, and then she laughed.

((Wish me luck for my science key stage 3 tomorrow))

The twins watched.

((LUCK!))

Holly laughed.

((Thank you!))

"So...what do ya's wanna do gals?" asked Natalie.

"Practice?" Raven suggested.

"That sounds like an immense idea!" Holly said, "Okay, so we have the song, everyone to their insturments!"

Shadow and Raven looked at each other.
"Er... what are we supposed to do?"

Natalie put up her bassoon and warmed up by playong high A.

"Ok dudes...lets get crackin," said Natalie.

((I have missed sooo much. let's just say i've just come in. lol))
Eliza and Zeke walked in.
"DId we miss something? Do we have to audition too, or are we too late?"

"Shadow and Raven, you may dance- improvise! And Eliza- i already made you singer- Zeke youre on the drums. That alright?"


((Were you away somewhere from friday or something....))

"Ready," said Natalie

Shadow and Raven nodded, getting ready.

"Ready," Holly said, "Lets pump it up!"
She then felt stupid for saying this, but quickly shook her head, and began to play a very complicated melody.

Shadow and Raven began to turn and move simultaneously to the music.

"Ok, that's good." Eliza said, swallowing nervously. She hadn't sung in public for a long time. Zeke however was confident and sat down at the drums, pounding a rhythm(sp).

Natalie followed, doing the equally complicated and ghostly base line.

((Ok, I need to go now, it's late. And Dorothy? BED!))

The twins tried to keep in time to the music.

"Got the lyrics?" Holly called over to her, her hands moving up and down the guitar so fast you could barely register they were there.

((Night 'Shadow'))

Natalie continued to play.

((i know, I was about to tell you! lol))

Eliza nodded, and began to sing. Zeke continued to pound the rhythm..

((Good!))

The twins performed a backflip at exactly the same time.

Holly nodded approvingly at Zeke and Eliza. Her voice was truly immense.

((Night SHADOW lol x))

Natalie was also amazed at Eliza's voice, so amazed in fact that she played a wrong note.

Holly narrowed her eyes at Natalie. This was simply not good enough.


((OJ!))

Eliza went slightly pink in the face from embarassement (sp) but didn't miss a note. Zeke gave a bash on the cymbals for effect and grinned.

Hayley was watching the band intensely. They were all amazing, Eliza's voice, Holly's chords,and the rest preforming equally well. She smiled at the immensity of it all.

The song had a pause in the singng and Eliza said to Hayley,
"So what do you do, then?"

"Um..." Hayley scratched her head, then said, "Well, I auditioned for guitarist, but then realised I couldn't be bothered being in a band, so I just...watch. Your voice is amazing by the way,"

Eliza blushed, "Thanks."

She had to sing again, and resumed her singing. The song was nearly over, so she might as well give it a bit of welly.

Natalie resumed playing well....no wrong notes.

Hayley watched again, fascinated, the band worked so well together, everything melded together perfectly. The song finally ended, and Hayley clapped, and 'Wooped!' for her friends.

Eliza took a mock bow and Zeke banged the cymbals again for the last note.
"So... any comments, Hayley?"

"Wow," Hayley said, "Seriously guys, well done, that was great!" she grinned. "When you guys are on 'Top Of The Pops' in five years time, don't forget about your humble friend Hayley," she said laughing.

Natalie bowed too.

"Thats nice of you Hayley...but I really need to practice that song...did you hear the wrong note?" Natalie sighed.

"That was great dudes," Holly agreed, "We pretty much rock!"

"ROCK AND ROLL!" Natalie shouted, doing the rock fingers.

"OH YEAH!" Holly said, high fiving her.

"We rule...old school like," said Natalie, "we rock so hard...people are affraid of us."

"I think we should do old 70-80's music... You know, the Jackson Five, Queen, ... That sort of sound. I sing all kinds, but I love that sort. I know it's mugge songs, but so what?"

"Aye, im open to anything" Holly said, glad they were progressing.

"This is great!" said Hayley," And yeah Nat I heard the wrong note, but you only did it cause you were blown away by Eliza's voice! Hey, maybe I could be your...manager or something!" she laughed.

"I love that idea 'liza," said Natalie.

"Thanks." Eliza smiled, "And we totally need a manager. Hayley? Would you have the honour, nay, the privilige-"
"Ok, Eliza, that's enough." Zeke stood up from behind the drums, twirling the sticks. Eliza raised an eyebrow, but was trying hard not to laugh.

Raven blushed slightly, realising that Zeke was there, and had probably seen her dancing. Shadow gently hit her round the head.
"If you don't, I will." She said softly.
"You wouldn't dare!"

((ll <-- I got sick of lol so I invented ll=Laugh Loudly))

Zeke looked away so's not to make a fool out of himself, much less hurt her.
Eliza looked at him a little sadly.
