Accepted Forms:

Name: Sierra Mason
Age/Year: 22
Pic: Casual: User Image Teaching: User Image
Instrument: French Horn, Mellophone, Piano, Violin, Alto Saxophone
Job: Band Director
Bio: Sierra has always been close to the band ever since high school. It was all due to the fact that she had finally gotten out of a rough situation at home, and then joined the marching band weeks after.
She played French Horn most of her life, but picked up saxophone when she decided to take a music major, and her band director offered lessons.
She's still really close to her former director, and was honored to take his position when he retired. But is there more to the closeness between them than it really seems? The students will have to find out...
Also, she is known to lay back on some of her Japanese heritage when she's stressed, tacking on honorifics like -kun, -chan, and -san.
Edit: She's also really sickly from her near-death experience back her freshman year in high school.

Name: Benjamin Grant (G)
Age/Year: 52
Pic: User Image
Instrument: Alto Saxaphone, Piano
Job: Former Band Director
Bio: Benjamin has been fatherlike to Sierra ever since he saw her for the first time, which was seeing her crying, alone, in the rain. He mentored her throughout her high school years, and is now hanging around the band to make sure she had a good start. But, he knows of her low confidence level, and how she's not assertive in most things.
He also has an air of respect hanging around him, and doesn't like it when people pick on others.
Username: Evelyn598

Name: Jonathan Martin Barker
Age/Year: 18/ Senior
Pic: User Image
Instrument: Trombone, guitar
Job: Section leader (trombone)
Bio: Born in L.A, Jonathan grew up in a fast-paced, rapid environment. He had always loved music, and played guitar in a garage band when he was in middle school… it didn’t last. He took up the trombone also in middle school, but never considered joining the “nerdy” marching band. During one chemistry class, during his sophomore year, he met Leslie who put the idea in his head. He scoffed it at first, but subconsciously to impress her, he joined. His talent with the trombone quickly got him the spot as section leader, and surprisingly, he took the spot with a certain pride. He still remains in the marching band, though he is firmly denying that he loves Leslie…

Bio: Leslie was born to a business-oriented family. Her parents were partners in a very successful corporation and she got everything she could ever want… however, she was never happy, and her parents were never home to spend time with her. She grew up extremely depressed and socially awkward. The only thing she really had that made her happy, was her music. She joined the marching band in middle school, and grew to love it. She stayed with it all up until high school. She was finally made a section leader, and she was absolutely thrilled for the first time in years.

Username: jaedenface

Name: Cameron Jessee
Age/Year: 17 Senior
Pic: Sig picture basically
Instrument: 1st Snare Percussion
Job: Percussion Equipment Manager
Bio: Cameron Jessee has played drums/percussion since he was 5 years young. That's his instument, he never wanted to play a trumpet, tuba, trombone, saxophone, nothing. The drumming is his thing. going into his last year at Cerdadale High School. Cameron is always the excitement of band, because whenever you see him, he's either doing something stupid; partying around; or dancing. Cameron can be deep, oh yes. Cameron is basically the percussion leader, so at the end of our performances at the game, he calls a meeting with the drumline, and he gets emotional with what they played. Being in drumline gives Cameron the best feeling he's ever had.
Cameron likes one girl in band at the moment.

Job: Making girls swoon and then being a jerk. Oh, you meant band wise? In that case, the same answer.
Bio: Sparkling eyes gaze upon the lad who couldn't care less about his looks if he tried. Sometimes he actually wished he would have been born as a hideous monster, just so the horrid attention-seeking wretches would cease to pester him. It seemed that their annoyance was the worst occurrence that could take place, but he soon realized that blackmail was worse. Now he's stuck in a place where slang is like a foreign language and he can't tell one end of an instrument from the other. His plan? To brush it off, pretending to care while really just making his glass wall thicker. People could see him, though a little warped, through the clear substance that had a high chance of breaking but never seemed to.

Rules:
1) Obey Gaia TOS and the rules of TBNG.
2) Keep this as realistic as possible. You can add in cool facts about how your character can swordfight and stuff like that, but please, we don't need this to be crazy fantasy.
3) Your character form needs to be accepted and posted with the other character forms before you can make your first post.
4) Have fun and be kind to your fellow roleplayers!
5) Keep the amount of characters you have to a minimum. I'll place it at 3, but if it seems like we're having trouble with that many, then I'm going to lower it.
6) Be literate, though in (OOC) conversations, you can use chatspeak like 'LOL' or 'WTF'
7) All (OOC) posts need to be in (parenthesis)

Sierra walks into the empty band room, feeling the feelings of her old student days rushing back to her. She closes her eyes, taking in the band-roomy smell, and sighs. She missed her G-sensei. He was her mentor through all of this, and now she was flying solo.
"Easy, Sierra. This is only the first day of band camp. Surely the staff will help you out through this..." She murmurs, and notices a note on her office door.
Sierra,
Congradulations on getting my position! I'm so proud of you! I was hired in my retired days to write your music this year, so I left you the music that I inspired the music off of.
Calm down. I enjoyed this part of the job before I retired.
G

"Sensei..." Sierra murmurs under her breath, and pulls out the key to her office. Everything was still the way it was the year beforehand when she student taught at the school. She sucks in a deep breath, and takes a seat in her chair, waiting for someone to arrive.

"First day of band camp... I can't wait."
Jon ran his comb through his messy, blonde hair for the fifteenth time.
"Yeah, that's much better." he said.
His thoughts drifted and he found himself becoming even more uneasy than he thought.
"Oh man, what'll she think when she sees me?" he pondered, "I haven't seen her since Joey's grad party... and that was months ago! Wait, Jon, chill out! You'll be fine! Besides, you'll have your section-mates there and everything! Just use your great leadership skills to impress her!"
After giving a wolfish smirk to the mirror, he went to make himself some breakfast.
Sausage, eggs, and Sunny D. Jonathan smiled and put the first two items into the microwave. As he sat down to eat, his digital watch started chirping noisily.
"D*mn!" He cursed as he gobbled down his breakfast, grabbed his trombone and his knapsack, and headed out the door, to both his car, and his inevitable fate.


Leslie prepared her flute, which she affectionately named "Christine".
She felt a jolt of excitement run through her as she went through her memories of band camp. She couldn't wait to meet the new members of the band, especially those who were in her section, but she was also excited to see her old friends again. She also got a letter telling about a new band director. She was also very thrilled about this concept and was more than eager to meet the new teacher. She checked her watch; 6:00... Good, she was still reasonably early.
She heard a knocking at the door. It was her next-door neighbor who always drove her to school.
Smiling widely, she opened it.
"Ready to go?" he asked, in his usual, friendly manner.
Leslie nodded,
"Yes, of course!" she said, as she grabbed her belongings and headed out the door.

Jaeden walked to the school with nothing but his sticks, an extra pair of sticks, and a waterbottle in his backpack. His iPod was tucked into the pocket of his black shorts. He couldnt wait for the day to begin. Meeting new people, learning new music, dying beneath the sun; it was all so magical. He brushed a hand through his messy blue hair; hair that was bright red the previous marching band season.

When he finally reached the band room, he inhaled deeply, filling his lungs with the smell of brass, drums, woodwinds, rusty stands, and everything he loved about marching band. He didn't see anyone there except for some freshmen girls talking amongst themselves in a corner. He figured he'd introduce himself to them later, and made his way to the band director's office.

Benjamin walks into the band room, and saw several faces from his last year in teaching, and a lot of new faces too. He casually glides through the band room, wanting to see how his favorite student through the years was handling her first day as a teacher and a band director.
She's probably hyperventilating right about now, He thinks, grinning. He remembered her first day as his student teacher. She was completely freaked out. In a good way.
He sees her in his old office, and also saw Jaeden. He nods a hello, and knocks on her office door. Through the window, he sees her jump a little as she was sitting at her computer. She stands up, and opens the door, surprised to see her there.
"Sensei!" She gasps, and he smiles.
"Hey Sierra. How was your summer?" He says, giving her a small hug. Actually, more acurately, she gave him a small hug.
"It was... great!" She says in a small voice, and he smirks.
"You're going to have to have a bigger voice once you're out on the field tonight," He says, and she nods.
"I'm just so nervous!" She whispers back.
"Calm down. Everything's going to be all right."

Leslie walked into the building after giving another friendly smile and wave to her next-door neighbor.
She sighed as her eyes landed on the homey building.
"There's no place like home." She said with a soft giggle.
As she held Christine's leather case in her hand, she anxiously entered the building.
"I wonder who's here yet...I know I'm early." she pondered to herself as she headed to the Music wing of the oh-so-familiar high school.


Jonathan sped down the road, yeah, it was illegal, but he didn't care at this moment. If he wanted to impress Leslie, he just had to get there on time. He gave a sigh, and continued speeding.
After making an unusually sharp turn into the school's parking lot, he took the nearest spot he could find, grabbed his belongings and rushed into the building.
"Man, I hope she's not there yet!" he thought to himself.

After introducing himself to the new band director (who was quite clearly nervous), he walked out into the main band room. A couple more people had come now and they were mingling amongst themselves.

"Hellooo ladies," Jaeden said with a smile as he greeted a group of freshmen girls. He affectionately put his arms around two of the girls in the group and started introducing himself, "I'm Jaeden and I would like to be the first to welcome you lovely ladies to the Cedardale High School marching band. And, ladies, if you ever, and I mean EVERRR have ANY questions at all, I'll be more than happy to help you."

Jaeden left the freshmen giggling and embarassed. He could hear one of them say "I wonder if everyone here is that weird."

Ah yes, Jaeden thought with a smile, "weird" is one of those words I've heard way too many times before.

In the distance, Jaeden could see a girl with long brown hair carrying an all too familiar flute case.

"Leslie!!!! Dahhling, it's wonderful to see you!" Jaeden shouted as he made his way over.
PostPosted: Mon Sep 29, 2008 3:42 pm


Leslie was pretty much in her own, nostalgic world, when a voice that she knew called her name.
Upon hearing it, Leslie turned around to see the familiar face, only with different colored hair... but for some reason, the change in style made it only more familiar.
She straightened out her skirt, as she usually felt self-conscious (despite who it was) and then made her way over to her friend and band-mate.
"Oh, Jaeden... you're early." She said, giving her usual, friendly smile, "How did your summer go? Did you finish the assignments?"
She held Christine in front of her as she stood.


Jonathan ran down the hall, sweat pouring down his face as he looked for the band room.
"Ah, there it is!" he said as his eyes quickly glanced a sign that read Band Room with an arrow pointing in the correct direction.
He headed down the music hallway, and upon reaching the doors to the band room, he paused to fix his (now extremely sweaty) hair and entered with a dignified manner.
However, he spotted Leslie talking to Jaeden, and his entire confidence seemed to crumple underneath him.
Oh God, there she is...what if she comes over to say hello...? What would I say?
He felt an internal panic rising within him and he could feel his heartbeat racing.
Just keep your cool and everything will be fine...she's sweet like that...and beautiful...and smart...Oh man...how am I gonna keep my cool?

Sienna saw Jonathan standing inside the band room, and decided to try and introduce herself. She starts to walk over, and all of the sudden trips over a chord, falling down. She squeaks as she falls, landing on her stomach.
"Eep... I'm sorry," She murmurs, embarassed, "I'm such a klutz."
