                             At school.

James puts up the printed out roster for the choir. Students who auditioned run to see the results. Only 17 names were on the list. Some students are bitter and upset, while of course, the main characters are ecstatic. First practice will be held in the choir room at 5:00 to 7:30.

                             After school.

As James heads to the choir room, he hears loud music blasting from speakers. He opens the door to find most of the kids are dancing; they are grinding, twerking, while some are standing down. He walks over to turn the music off. The kids moan and groan.

Jesse: Yo, why did you cut off the music, isn’t this a music class?

James: Well it’s definitely not a club. You are to carry yourselves as young men and women at all times, do you hear me?

At this point, James is close to Jesse’s face.

Jesse: What I hear, is your breath roasting my eyebrows.

Everyone laughs from the remark. James gives them an evil stare. They quiet down.

James: Oh, we got jokes, here’s one.

James walks over to the door and opens it.

James: Come on, let’s see you laugh all the way down to Principal Stone’s office and let her know that this choir isn’t for you.

Jesse: Chill dude, I was just playing around.

James:  I don’t have time for games son, I’m a grown man here to help you, now form a line, everybody.

Everyone forms a line.

James: All right, welcome to (High school name) choir. I am Mr. James Williams or Mr. James is fine. I am here to teach you choir. Now most of you are here because you simply cannot stay out of trouble, others chose to be here. Now we will be having practice fro…..

Kodi raises his hand.

James: Yes Kodi?

Kodi: Sorry to interrupt sir, but I have to pee.

James: Go pee Kodi.

Kodi runs to the door.

James: Now as I was saying, we will have practice from 5:00 to 7:30 from Monday to Friday. This will lead into the Choir Kickback Competition that will be competing in.

Everyone mutter and groans.

Jeremiah: No one said anything about a competition.
