      NY POV

Santana (14) , Quinn (14) and Mercedes (14) are attending the same school, New Amsterdam (Middle school) in New York. They were in there last year of Junior High. (Grade 8) They had been friends from the start. When they were in English class there teacher Miss. Menzel told them that there were still a few spots left in Glee Club. They needed some new voices. When the girls heard her say that they thought, why not to join the Glee Club. All of them liked to sing. They could stick around together.

Members of the Glee Club (New Amsterdam Showchoir (NAS)) were Rachel, Kurt, Emily, Alison, Caleb, Hanna and Ian-Jay. They needed some more members so they could compete at Competitions. At least they needed 10 members.

     The girls were talking.
Quinn: “What do you girls think!? I think it could be fun. I really love to sing. And maybe we will make some new friends to hang out with.” Santana: “I don’t know Quinn, am I not a little to badass for that.” she said with a little laugh. Mercedes: “A come on San. You don’t know how it will be. We don’t know what it’s like. So let’s just see.” Santana: “Okay, fine I will join.” Quinn: “They will be holding auditions. So we need to think of what we wanna sing.” So the girls thought about it, what they would sing at there auditions. The next day it was the girls audition. Santana was singing ‘Valerie’,

Quinn was singing ‘You Keep Me Hanging On’ and Mercedes was singing ‘Hell to the No’. Everyone in the auditorium was clapping and cheering them on. The girls sang great. They have great voices. Everybody was thrilled to let them join Glee Club. They could really use there voices. Rachel on the other hand was a little afraid. Because she wanted to be the Sta and get to sing the lead. Miss Menzel told the girls they were in. Santana, Quinn and Mercedes looked really happy. After the auditions the girls went home. It was Friday evening so they were holding a sleepover at Mercedes’ place. They ordered some pizza and watched some movies. They had a lot of fun.

             Monday
It was there first day to join the glee club. They walked in together. Miss Menzel walked over to the girls and said “Hi, Welcome in Glee Club NAS. We are happy to have you here. Just take a seat.“ The girls took there places in the back of the room. Miss Menzel was preparing some things. Before she took place. Miss Menzel: “So welcome everyone. Let me introduce you to our new members of this club. We have Santana, Quinn and Mercedes.” The girls smiled at the rest of the kids. “So now we I will introduce you to the others. So here we have Rachel, Kurt, Emily, Allison, Caleb, Hanna and Ian-Jay. Now you all know the names, let’s get started with some vocal warm-ups.”

The day went by. Glee Club was over. So the girls grabbed there things and headed out of the room. Before they could reach the door, there was someone talking to them. They turned around and so a boy.

Kurt: “Hi, My name is Kurt. You girls were amazing at your auditions!”
Quinn: “Hi. Thank you. I’m Quinn, btw.” said the blond.
Mercedes: “Hi, I’m Mercedes. Well thank you Kurt. You were good too in class.”  Santana didn’t say anything. She just watched them having a conversation. She had a little snirk on her face. She didn’t know if she would like this kid. They all said there goodbyes. And were heading to the rest of there classes.

A few weeks went by. They were practicing really hard for there competing at Sectionals. Miss Menzel was telling the class which songs they were going to sing at Sectionals. “So class I’m gonna tell you now which songs we will perform at the competition. So Santana will be singing a solo ‘Valerie’ and our  Groupnumber will be  ‘Light up the World. We will also be having a captain for our team. And that will be…. Santana. Let’s give her an applause.” Santana looked a little shy, but smiled at everyone when Miss Menzel told them she was there captain. Those were great songs. They were confident to believe they were gonna be amazing and put down an awesome performance. Sectionals was in 2 weeks. So they needed all the time they got to practice.
