Once I was dressed in a white red hot chili peppers tee, with the logo and a picture of the band, black denim cut offs, and my black rhcp converse, we hopped in my car and drove off with all the equipment.
We got there really early, before Hannah and Elana and all of them, but when we walked inside, we saw the whole school. "Oh my god!" I exclaim, as I see everyone. All the students, teachers staff, even the principal was there. "this is crazy! Ok, I want to say thank you so much for being here, but just so you know even if we don't make it, all that counts is that we have fun!" I say, and everyone cheers.
As we sat in the waiting room, more and more people started showing up.
"All these people look like professionals, I don't think we even come close to how good they play," Diya told me, getting nervous.
"No. They might seem like it, but we are going to be amazing." I reply.
After hours of waiting, and there was only three bands left, including us, we finally got called in.
After I plugged my guitar into my amp, and Diya sat on her drum stool, Angela tuned her bass, and minna oiled her trumpet, we started practicing.
"Okay guys, lets start with Stadium Arcadium!" I say and we begin. Halfway into the song, they walk in. And by they, I mean Anthony kiedis, flea, chad smith, and John frusciante. I couldn't believe it. My idols, the people I look up to, my lifelong GODS were standing right in front of me.
"Hey guys!" Says Anthony. Just to hear his voice not coming from a speaker or something, was amazing.
"Hey..." I reply. " I just want to say, we love you guys. I've loved you since I was a baby, and you guys are like, my gods or something. So, ya. I just wanted to out that out there now that I have the chance to say it to you." I tell them.
"Well, that's great to know." Replies flea.
"So, today, you guys will play three songs for us, that we chose, tell us about your selves, and in about a week, the manager will get a call from us, saying yes or no." Anthony says. "No pressure."
"Cool." I reply.
"So let's talk about you." Says chad.
"Okay, well we all have known each other for our whole lives basically, um... I play guitar and sing, Angela plays the bass, minna plays the trumpet, and Diya plays the drums. In some of the songs, we incorporated the trumpet part ourselves, and... ya! That's about it." I say
"Cool. So, the first song you will be playing is wet sand. Stadium Arcadium album, came out 2007." John tells us and we get ready.
I play the opening, and begin to sing.
"My shadow side, so amplified, keeps coming back dissatisfied, elementary son, but it's so, my love affair, with everywhere was innocent, why do you care, someone start the car, time to go. you're the best I know. "...
"You don't form in the wet sand, you don't form at all. No you don't form in the wet sand I do, yeah, you don't form in the wet sand, you don't form at all. No you don't form in the wet sand I do. Yeah!" I sing the last part, and play the guitar solo.
When it's over, Anthony says, "nice, now let's hear californiacation."We were over with all the songs, and the band had their mouths hanging open. I didn't say anything.
"That was amazing," said the band in unison.
"Thanks!" I reply, trying to hold back my excitement.
"Your in." Says Anthony.
"I'm sorry?" I say, not sure if I heard correctly.
"your in the band. Your performance was amazing. You were so relaxed, and I could see how the audience would be able to relate to you guys, you seem like you don't care that you just performed in front of a famous band, in a good way of course. You were the best band we have heard, and you are in."
Anthony says, and I go into shock.
"Thank you! Thank you so much! This has been such a great opportunity, and it has been an honor to perform for you. This is crazy. I can't say how thankful I am." I say
"No problem! Now go out there and tell all your friends you are now a part of the most famous rock band EVER!!!!!" Flea tells us, being his crazy self. "Oh, and we are meeting for practice on monday, at Anthony's place at 9:00 am, his address is 35 greenspring road. Mine is 47 derway street, chads is 59 moreyblanc court, and johns is 71 bear lane. If you can tell me your phone number, I will text you with the rest of our numbers, in case you need is."
"Ok!" I say and give him my number. "Thanks so much!"
"Our pleasure." Says John and we walk out the door."We're in!!!!" Exclaims Minna and everyone cheers.
