The Staten Island High School Marching Band got major funding cuts the past year. With no help from anyone, it's up to them to keep the program from shutting down.
Drum Major John Laurens decides the best thing for them is to outplay every other band in New York and bring pride to their school through football games, competitions, social media, and parades. But with so many broken instruments, tattered flags, and new freshmen, it seems like an impossible task to complete.
He just hopes they can pull it together.
{ Disclaimer!
I live in Alabama. My school is medium-sized and I'm not sure what schools in NYC are like, despite research on it. I'm estimating they're packed; about 1,000 kids per school. Usually, where I live, 1/8 of the kids are in their band. That's 188.
So... The schools in this particular story shall be fictional. Any names of actual schools are a total coincidence, and if any New Yorkers actually know anything, PLEASE PM or comment so I can adjust numbers.
Enjoy the story! }

The Battle of the Bands ✓
He took a step closer, the smirk not leaving his face as he could sense my irritation. "I've been looking forward to this for far too long," he laughed, licking his lips. "And for once, I'm gonna be the one knocking the smug smile off of your face." My scowl deepened, confused as to what he was talking about. He took another step forward, standing close enough for me to get a whiff of his minty breath and aftershave. He leaned in towards my ear, speaking loud enough for only me to hear, "We'll settle this with the battle of the bands," *** [Completed] Kylie Thompson had it all; she had the perfect family, a handsome boyfriend, good grades, and she was apart of one of the best marching bands in the state. Within a year, that all changed. Her parents filed for divorce, her boyfriend broke up with her, her grades began to slip, and her band director passed away from kidney failure. Now Kylie has to deal with four new issues; her parent's immature fights, avoiding her ex, improving her grades, and keeping the band from falling apart. All of this, and putting up with a guy in the rival band that is so cocky yet so cute. With these newfound troubles, will Kylie be able to keep her life from crumbling, or will a certain someone come along and sweep her off her feet?Complete
