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.

"I thought that the thing between Shadow and Jamie would have been obvious!" Raven snorted.
"Not as much as you and Zeke, what's more, I don't think you've told him yet!" Shadow retorted.
"Shut up Shady."
"Right back at you Rae."

Holly watched puzzled.
"You and Zeke?" she asked Raven, "Cool....,"
Then she turned to Shadow.
"Well yeah I knew about that, half of China knows about that but i didnt know it was....well anyway, if you have any suggestions...," she said quickly.

Shadow thought for a second.
"What lyrics have you already got?"

""I love you,"" Holly read, "And that is it. Im usually ace at writing songs about love but not recently,"
She had spoken without thinking.
"I-I mean I dont know whats happened....um....,"

Shadow thought for a minute.
" My heart is throbbing, my head is spinning, what is this effet that you have on me? All you have to do is look at me and I feel faint... My heart is soaring in the clouds, supported by your love, we were meant to be..." Shadow said quietly.

Holly stared at her.
"That was beautiful," she said truthfully and jotted it down, "Well I must say you are much better at this than I am Shad....,"

Shadow smiled.
"Thanks."

Holly finished writing and reread what she had written.
"That's quality stuff," she said approvingly, "Did you think of that just now?"

Shadow nodded sheepishly.

Holly grinned.
"Well it was great, well done. Song taking shape....first gig planned- we're playing tomorrow night in the grounds- all we need now if another guitarist, if only one could just like fly out of the sky or something...i wouldnt complain if it was a decent looking fellow....,"
Holly laughed.

"My half-brother used to play a little bit, but I don't know where he is." Shadow said thoughtfully.

"Oh?" Holly asked interested, "And was he- is he- I mean does he- is he nice looking- OH! You dont know where he is?"
She was suddenly crestfallen.

Raven nudged her sister.
"Do you not pay attention?!"
"To what?" Shadow asked.
"Never mind. He's coming back, remember? He was back yesterday."
"Oh yeah! So we DO know where he is..." Raven hit herself in the head.
"DUH!"

"You know where he is?" Holly asked earnestly, "And he's nice look- I mean he plays guitar?"

"He used to play certainly. He's half-vampire, called Caleb." Shadow said.

"Awesome," Holly said thinking, "When will he be here?"

"Raven, can you get a lock on his mind?" Shadow asked.
"Yeah, he's on his way."

"Yayayayayyayayayaya," Holly said, and did a little celebration dance, then she stopped, "Sorry. Just happy theres another guitarist! YAYAYAYY!"

The shadows of the room flickered and boiled, coming together to form the tall, cloaked and hooded figure of Caleb.
"You wished to see me sisters?" He said with a voice that echoed throughout the darkness of the room.

Hollys mouth fell open.
"Hi," she said.
((rage, i gotta go, see you tomorrow!!!!! xx))

"So....gig in the grounds....but I have yet to play anything...allow me to deminstrate the art of the bassoonist," said Natalie dreaming. She took out her bassoon case and put her bassoon together.

She stood on the stage, neck strap holding her bassoon up.

She wet the reed in her mouth.

"Ok...I am going to play something of my own composition...something different."

She put the reed to her mouth and began to play. The bassoons woody tones filled the room. The piece of music was eerie, like the kind of piece a snake charmer in arabia might play. To watch, it looked like she was born to play this instrument. As the music got fast, it looked like Natalies little fingers would fall off they were flying over the keys so fast. Then, with a low B flat, the music came to an end.

"Well, did you like it?" she asked the others.

"IN!" Holly yelled and made a note on the clipboard, "That was ace kiddo,"
She turned back to Caleb, "So hi,"she said again, "Im Holly. Holly Bristol,"

"I'm Natalie, Natalie Patterson...but you can call me Nat, or Nattie if you wish," said Natalie, smiling.

Hayley heard the comotion, and walked in. "Band auditions....hmm, think I could audition? I play...electric violin. Kidding, I play some guitar." she picked up a large bag, unzipped it and pulled out a guitar. With a flick of her plectrum she began to play.
She played for about a minute ending in a low strum. "So, how's that?" she looked hopefull.
Then she looked at the boy she didn't know. "If I heard right, you're called Caleb? Hi, I'm Hayley."

"Actually," said Hayley re-thinking, "I don't even want to be in a band, I have no time!"

((i saved that one well hannah lol))

((ha ha, well done babes xxx lmao ))

Holly nodded.
"We've found all we needed," she said apologetically, "But thanks for auditioning!!!"

"No probs. I used to be in a band. We were called 'The Hardcore Bumble-bees who like hardcore things which are hardcore' I know, but I didn't make up the name. We didn't last very long, considering our main hardcore guitarist decided he wanted to sing classical and be in musicals, and now he's super famous. What's his name again....Robbie Williams." Hayley laughed as she usually did whilst talking nonsense.

((sorry I'm hyper right now lol))

((tut tut, has your ma let you on the Revels again?))

"Oh really?" Holly asked eyebrows raised, "Thats weird....,"

"Hey Hayley....whats up?" asked Natalie.

((HK DUDE...ONE MORE POST AND YOU'LL BE A THIRD YEAR MAN))

((eewe revels?))

"Yeah, we had some serious tunes," replied Hayley

Shadow and Raven watched, unsure of what to do.

"Oh I know him...Robbie Williams....Let Me Entertain You is classic," said Natalie, smiling at Hayley

Holly was confused, having never heard of this man before.
"Um...cool?" she said, unsure.

((OMG! IM A THIRD YEAR!!! AHHH!!! YAY!))

((OMG BOO...OMG AHHH CONGRATS KID LOL))

"He's ok...but I like the weird sisters better." said Natalie.

"Aye," Holly said, "And our band....what shall we be called?"

((Seriously, what shall we be called?))

"How about......Paramore? Wait that's taken. Girls Aloud? Nope....My Chemical Romance? Jimmy Eat World? Why are all the good names taken?" Hayley then spontaneously began dancing a bit like a crazy chicken...

"Um....Hayles....you arent....you know....you arent in the band dude....,"

"How about...Wizard," said Natalie.

Jamie looked at the girls,
"hey hayley, calm it please, how about insomniatic?" Jamie asked them

"How about Zanklet?" Holly asked, "Its original,"

"Sounds good...sounds weirdly cool," said Natalie.

"well thats just me!" Jamie pointed out for her

(lucy can yout ype a little faster im getting bord waiting lol ojoj)

((Sorry...BTW there's that word again that I told you the real meaning of...original))

"It is too," said Natalie, smiling.

Jamie smiled

(not funny BTW!)

"so have we an agreement?" Jamie asked the group

"ALL IN FAVOUR!" Holly said, and she and George raised their hands

"We haven't even got a manager yet...but I did vote for Holly," said Natalie, but she raised her hand anyway.

jamie obviously raised his hand as it was his idea,
"i think well take that as a yes then wont we?" Jamie said looking around "majority rules!"

"Yay...sounds good," said Natalie again.

"okay them managers," Jamie announced "holly!" Jamie yelled

((only because she made this thread up lol))

"I voted Holly ages ago...but no-one ever listens to a weirdo," said Natalie, frowning.
