Sierra: *staring at the math test in front of her, she sighed, her head cradled in one hand*
*nervously, she glanced down to the next question, only to find that she didn't know the answer*
*continuing this trend, she glanced down the rest of the test, the letters and symbols meaning nothing to her*

*he finished the last few questions and handed in his test*
*he moved back to his desk to see Sierra burying her face and this bothering him, he tapped her on the shoulder and whispered*

Christina sat on the floor and silently started playing, seeming to calm down. Adam, because his drum set was in the garadge, used some pencils and a binder to play the song with her.

Multiple people can be in it!

Christina walked the halls silently, looking down as usual. Unfortunantly, she was absent the day before due to many things, and was trying to catch up on work. The reason, however, remains a mystery.

She sighed. "I'll tell you later." She replied, entering and then jumping on the stage. It was quite empty, other than the two. She got a binder out of her bag and started flipping through it, seeming focused on her work.

Sierra: *making her way to her locker, she threw her English textbook in the top and shut it*
Only one more period to go...*whispering to herself, her thoughts on the competition*

Sierra: *nodding* Alright then, we'll meet for practice tomorrow after school.
We should be able to practice in my garage, I'm sure my dad won't mind it.
We'll consider that "tryouts" and from there we'll decide the line up.
Does that work for everyone? *looking around at the growing band of people*

Shaun's right though, we should figure out who's playing first...
Maybe we should wait until after everyone practices to see who will play...?

They can fill multiple roles, no worries there!
Especially if the person is a singer/instrument combo.
That happens all the time, so you're good.
