Music for the fallen

Chapter 1 - prologue

Narrator 1: Music has always been an amazing thing. It is the embodiment of the feeling in our souls. Music is one of man kinds greatest forms of expression. In the beginning music was made for fun. It was intended to put smiles on people's faces. But as the years went on, music became a way to speak out against oppression. Then it became all about fame and fortune.

Narrator 2: People began to lose sight of the true meaning of music. And eventually, man kind went too far. They truly lost sight of why music was created. They became blind in that moment. It almost resulted in the destruction of music forever. Until one man stood up to protect music. Even tho he was almost imprisoned for his words, he was still willing to fight for music. And on that day he said....

Man: Why ban music!? If you do that, the only result will be an up roar. I mean sure this band before us today might have went too far. But that doesn't mean we should get rid of the one thing man kind has benefitted from for years. In today's world there are rules and guide lines for pretty much anything. Why not just do the same for music?

* There is light chatter and mumbling throughout the room.

Judge: With all due respect, can I ask you something?

Man: go right ahead sir.

Judge: Why are you so quick to defend music? Even after everything you saw, why?

Man: Because music is a vital part of society, and it deserves a second chance. Plus, music once saved me. So I want to do everything in my power to save it!!!

* For a while there is a long intense pause, and eventually the judge begins to speak again.

Judge: Well in light of these powerful words I have decided my verdict. Music will not be banned, however there will be a new set of laws created by myself and the other Supreme Court judges. In order to prevent any future incidents. And these new laws will go into place two weeks from now. They will undoubtedly change the world of music as we know it.

Narrator 1: The courtroom bursted with smiles and cheers at the judges final verdict. After all, music has just been saved.

Narrator 2: Although that doesn't necessarily mean that it was a good thing. In fact you will be surprised by the outcome.

Narrator 1+2: From that moment on music became very different. The new laws about music shook the world to its very core!

Narrator 1: From there, the rules of the game had changed. Rather than get rid of music, they decided to just make it harder for people to become musicians.

Narrator 2: Instead of instituting just a few laws, the Supreme Court drew up a whole constitution that would regulate music. It went into place 7/16/2031. And it became known as the constitution of music.

Narrator 1+2: With that, musicians everywhere had to play by a new set of rules.

Narrator 1: I can tell you one thing, people didn't like it one bit.

Narrator 2: Some people even wanted to start riots because of this!

Narrator 1: But in the end people decided to just except it. Unfortunately they had no choice in the matter. They either had to except it, or not play music at all. And those who were very dedicated musicians definitely didn't want the second option.
