Prologue Part One

It was three months after Das Sound Machine had lost to the Barden Bellas at the 2015 A Capella World Championships. Das Sound Machine had just finished a grueling practice, that was of course, to prepare for next year's World Championships. Today had been the usual four hour daily practice, singing, dancing, extemporaneous beat boxing and push-ups, lots of push-ups.
