Your Point of View:

   Checking into the hotel took forever. But eventually we got our room keys, and apparently Principal Aphmau had given us 3 rooms for each band. One was for the adult that was supervising us. That gave us a perfect set, and then we split up. Cadenza and I got one room, and the guys got the other... leaving Hayden with the supervisor's room. My mom planned on going back home with my dad. Cadenza and I walked into our room, and we instantly fell in love. The beds were made with white sheets and gold pillows, and we had a huge dresser, and desk, and a chair with cushions. The bathroom was really nice. It was big, and the shower and toilet were separated from the sink and mirror. We would only be staying one night, but I already thought it was going to be great. We set our bags down, and Cadenza being the girl that she is, had this HUGE bag, while I only had PJs, an outfit for the next day, and then some makeup, and things I would normally use in the morning.
   "This is such a lovely room!" Cadenza squealed, "I am so excited! When does Battle of the Bands start?"
   "Not until later I don't think. We eat dinner at 5:00 in our rooms, and then we head on out. Our meal's already taken care of, so I think we stay in our rooms for that. I'm sure they did that since they wouldn't want drama before the actual show." I replied.
   "Cool. OH MY GOSH," Cadenza started, "IT'S 4:30 ALREADY." 
   "No way." I looked at her phone, "Huh, guess it is. Which reminds me, what are we going to get?" then, we heard a knock on the door. I answered it, and it was an employee.
   "Hello there, I'm here to take your order. I assume you both are part of the Battle of the Bands competition?"
   "Yes." Cadenza replied.
   "Great, then here is your menu. Because your supervisor or facility already paid for your meal, you can pick anything from that menu."
   "I'll have (F/M)." you replied, giving Cadenza the menu.
   "I'll take a BLT with fries." she gave a menu back to the employee.
   "Great, thank you girls." they had closed the door, and Cadenza took the bed next to the window. I sat on my bed, and asked Cadenza,
   "Are you as anxious as I am?"
   "I'm really nervous. But I know we're going to do just fine if we just keep our confidence and work it out there."
   "Yeah... I mean, it's really nerve-wracking, being out there. I was having a freak-out mentally just for the school... but this, you said 100,000. That'a a lot more."
   "While it might be more people, nothing else changes. We're still the same group, still singing a song, and still looking highly-fashionable while doing so."
   "Heh, I guess you're right." I giggled. 
   "Of course I am." she smirked. I laughed, and she smiled. We heard another knock on the door, and it was my mom.
   "I get to stay with you guys for now. I brought food for myself." she smirked. Of course she did. "So, how are you guys feeling?"
   "Nervous, but excited." I replied.
   "Me too, to be honest." Cadenza sighed, "All of this is just becoming a blur, you know?"
   "Yeah, but as soon as the time comes, it's going to take so long for all those other bands. Do you know how long until I see you? Almost 4 hours."
   "4... HOURS?" Cadenza exclaimed, "Oh my goodness."
   "Yeah, but they want us to go down there at 6, for a brief talk, then you guys wait in the lobbies and in the different meeting rooms until your room is called. When your room is called, your bands are taken backstage. Luckily, you share a room with the other bands from the Academy, plus a couple others." she explained. "I go in the audience with all the parents... The Phoenix Drop reserved around maybe 9-10 seats just in the audience. We got great seats too, and your Principal is going to be here too, so is the Band teacher and the Drama and Music teachers. We got great seats too. We're at the front in the second level, so I think Vylad is it and the Art teacher made some words and a poster to tape to the banister! You'll be able to see us almost instantly!"
   "Haha! Good to know!" Cadenza laughed. "And yes, it's Vylad."
   "Good, I hate messing up names!" she commented. "But yeah, I have to wait until around 10:00 just to see you guys, and then they have 30 minutes to judge, and then at around 11:00 they announce the winners, before they give the winners information about a land battle."
   "A land battle?"
   "Yep. Basically every city, every town that tried for their first Battle of the Bands, and won, go the land battle, then the Top 3 that win land go to National."
   "Whoa." Cadenza gasped.
   "Right? So cool!" we heard a knock on the door, and it was our food. The employee left, and my mom got out her food. She had brought a sandwich, chips, and a bunch of other things. 
   "So, this is just the beginning of a huge thing?" Cadenza asked us.
   "I guess." I replied.
   "Oh, and the public gets to pick a band they want to be in the Land Battle."
   "The public?"
   "Yep, this thing's gonna be broad-casted on a streaming site. I think your school's doing an after-school thing to support the bands in Battle of the Bands. Almost everyone went."
   "Wow..." I took a bite of my (F/M), and put it in my mouth. It was really good! We all ate, and by the time I was full, it was around 5:40 something. We got up, and then the guys had knocked on our door. I answered it, and Dante was at the door.
   "Hey, are you guys ready?" he asked us.
   "Yeah, we're ready." I answered. Cadenza, my mom and I walked out, and all the guys were already out, including Hayden.
   "Let's go!" Laurence jumped around. As I walked behind them, I got a good look of what everyone was wearing. Dante had on a simple red t-shirt, black jeans, and gray shoes. His wrist had a watch and a bracelet of The Phoenix Drop. His hair was slightly styled, and a little bit left for added style. Garroth was wearing a medium blue button up t-shirt, jeans, and black tennis shoes. His hair was spiked up in the front, and he had on a blue watch, similar to Dante's and a bracelet as well. Laurence's hair was a bit ruffled around, which made him look kind of cool, and he wore a black and white striped zip-up jacket, a dark green t-shirt, and black jeans. He also had a pair of gray Vans. He had a green watch like the other guys, and a bracelet of The Phoenix Drop. I guess everyone wore one! We found ourselves in the lobby, where all 86 bands were. 
   "HELLO BANDS!" a girl spoke from a mic, "My name is May, and I'm one of your judges, so you might want to listen up." everyone quieted down, before she continued, "Anyways! My name is Ms. May Hemsley, and I would like ALL of you to pay attention. So, what we're going to have you do is separate into different rooms. There are 2 main hallways, so the 86 bands will be split up into sets of 43. Inside of each hall are 6 rooms. So, most of you will be sharing a room with 6 other bands including your own, and a hallway on the left will have 8 bands in one. Do not fret, as the rooms are MASSIVE, so you'll have tons of space. The closer you get to performing, the closer you move towards the stage. So, one the left hallway, will be Bands from 1 to 43, in the right will be Bands 44 to 86. There will be signs on the doors, to let you know what room your band is specifically in. We will even have your band name written on the sign. I wish you all good luck, and I'll see you from the stage!" Ms. Hemsley left, and then the gang and I walked towards the right hallway. We saw our name on the left, so we walked into a HUGE room. They weren't kidding when they said massive. We picked a corner of the room, and put all our things there. We even got 2 outlets to use, as some of us brought our chargers in case. We also brought snacks, our devices like phones and laptops, and we brought the games my mom had carried along. We watched as some other bands walked in. We saw Our Mod Mod World come in, and they sat in an area beside us. Then, the shadows knights came in, and sat in the corner next to ours. Aphmau's Academy had a whole wall claimed. I found that funny. Then, some other bands came in, and sat around the room.
