Band Girls

Audition (4)

"Hi," Kat said into the mic. The crowd 'awww'd at her cute voice. She turned around and smirked at us. I rolled my eyes and chuckled. "We're Lost In Time."

"And what song will you be performing today?" one of the judges asked.

"Pressure by Paramore," Tori replied.

"I take it your genre is rock?" another one of the judges said. She was young and her hair was spiked. She also had tattoos and piercings. We nodded and she smiled. "Begin."

Cam tapped her drum sticks and Tori and I started with the guitars. We did this awesome head bang while we were doing the intro. Kat took a deep breathe and began singing.

[Kat]
Tell me where our time went,
And if it was time well spent
Just don't let me fall asleep
Feeling empty again

[Vi]
Cause I fear I might break
And I fear I cant take it
Tonight I'll lie awake feeling empty

[Kat]
I can feel the pressure
It's getting closer now
We're better off without you
I can feel the pressure
It's getting closer now
We're better off without you

[Kat]
Now that I'm losing hope
And there's nothing else to show
For all of the days that we spent
Carried away from home

[Tori]
Some things I'll never know
And I had to let them go
I'm sitting all alone feeling empty

[Kat]
I can feel the pressure
It's getting closer now
We're better off without you
I can feel the pressure
It's getting closer now
We're better off without you

[Oli]
Some things I'll never know
And I have to let them go
Some things I'll never know
And I had to let them go
I'm sitting all alone feeling empty

[Kat]
I can feel the pressure
I'm getting closer now
We're better off without you

Feel the pressure
It's getting closer now
You're better off without me

When the song ended, everybody burst into applause.

Once they calmed down, the judge with the tattoos spoke, "I didn't get your girls names'?"

"I'm Cameron, but they call me Cam. Thats Victoria or Tori and her sister Violet, or Vi. Katrina or Kat is the lead vocalist and Olivia or Oli is one of the guitarist," Cam introduced us.

"It's nice to meet you girls. Please go wait somewhere while we watch the other auditions," the lady said. We nodded and walked off the stage. Once we were out of view of the judges, we squealed and started hugging each other.

"We were amazing!" Tori exclaimed.

"Yeah we were!" I agreed. I didn't think we'd be that good.

For the next few minutes, we discussed what we could do to improve and what we could do differently.

About half an hour later, the same judge who had asked for our names came up to us. i nearly fainted, because this could either make or break us.

It had to be for good news, because before the auditions started, they told us that afterwards, if they liked us they would approach us. If not then we would not be going through to Talent 101.

"Hi girls," she smiled at us. "I'm Emily James. I'm a singer-songwriter. I write songs for different rock bands and heavy-metal bands. I would be really interested in mentoring your band."
