“Alright we need to practice for tonight’s the next Battle of the Bands competition,” said Melody.
“I hope it’s not going to be harder to play,” replied Tuneful.
“I had to loosen the strap on my guitar so it wouldn’t put pressure on my belly,” said Melody. We won’t do as much practice since we’re all out of shape but we’ll have to get some done before tonight’s competition.
“That’s true,” said HalfNote.
“I think I can handle that,” said Tuneful.
“What song are we going to play tonight?” asked HalfNote. *Melody whispers her idea into both Tuneful and HalfNotes’ ears* That works for me.
“Don’t you think that might be a little odd for the competition?” asked Tuneful.
“Well we need something new for the competition,” replied HalfNote. We can’t just keep playing Sweet Music all the time.
“What if we played a new remix for the song?” asked Tuneful.
“I like the sound of that,” said HalfNote.
“Okay then, let’s practice,” said Melody. *they play their new version of Sweet Music a few times* Now let’s go to the competition! [At the competition…]
“Hello music fans and welcome to another edition of Battle of the Bands for PTV,” said Dazzle. Just look at the crowd out there. They’re really interested in hearing some tunes so let’s get started! *the crowd cheers* This year, I want you, the audience to make the vote on who wins. When each band stops playing, you are to clap for them and the louder the clapping, the higher the score for the band. Everyone understand? Alright then, here’s our first band of the night, Vanessa Carleton! *Vanessa enters and starts playing A Thousand Miles* [Back stage…]
“Singing and playing the piano?” questioned HalfNote. Now that’s hard to do!
“She sings pretty well too,” said Melody.
“Check out that crowd,” remarked Tuneful. We haven’t seen this many ponies in years. *Vanessa finishes her song and the crowd cheers*
“What a performance and decent score!” said Dazzle. Next up are the stars known as The Rockin Beats! *the band enters and begins performing*[In the audience…]
“They’re pretty good,” said Starlight.
“What a truly great song,” remarked Sweetheart. *The Rockin’ Beats finish and the crowd cheers loudly*
“How about that, a snazzy remix of their best song!” remarked Dazzle. They could be the winners here as they are currently in the lead. We have one final contestant tonight and they call themselves The Backstreeters! *they come out and perform, then the crowd cheers*
“According to the score, The Rockin’ Beats are our winners, congratulations!” said Dazzle. *she hands them their trophy*
“Great job, Melody,” said Ace.
“Ace, Lancer, Teddy?” questioned Melody. What are you guys doing here?
“We thought we’d try our luck here,” said Lancer. We’ve seen you all perform before and thought it looked like fun so here we are.
“I must say, you all aren’t bad,” said Tuneful.
“Thanks,” said Ace.
“Guess we still need practice,” said Lancer.
“Even though we won, we still practice,” said Melody. You guys will get better at it. Maybe you’ll beat us one day.
“It won’t be so easy for you next time because we’ll be back and better than ever,” said Ace.
“Yeah, so watch out,” said Lancer.
“We’re coming to get you next time,” said Teddy.
“We’ll be ready for you,” said Melody.
“Don’t think we’re going lightly either,” warned Tuneful.
“It’ll definitely be a Battle of the Bands,” added HalfNote. One that we’ll really look forward to.
