Shadow, Raven, Archangel and Onyx came on from different sides of the stage, looking more different than ever. They were wearing some sort of school uniform, but it had been 'altered' to look wild. Raven had mussed up her hair while the other three had strange styles. They had some sort of evil smile on, and the music started.
"Make us worthy, make us proud
Teach us not to be too loud
We'll try to fit in with the crowd
But we are St Trinian's...

We can't fake the way we feel
We were born to keep it real
Hockey sticks and balls of steel
We are St Trinian's

You bite us, we'll bite you back
Better be scared when we attack
Feel the fear, we're maniacs
St Trinian's!

Check out our battle cry
A song to terrify
No one can stand in our way

We are the best, so screw the rest
We do as we damn well please
Until the end
St Trinian's
Defenders of anarchy

So scan all the toffs, the neats and the freaks
Blackmail the goths, the slappers and the geeks
And if they complain, we'll do it all again
We do as we damn well please

The ASBOs, the chavs, the emos and their mates
To torment the slags, we offer special rates
And if they complain, we'll do it all again
Defenders of anarchy

We are the best, so screw the rest
We do as we damn well please
Until the end
St Trinian's
Defenders of anarchy
ST TRINIAN'S!

Finishing their song with a look of slight smugness and a glare at the audience, they strode off.

Lucy walked onto stage, her heart pounding with excitement rather than nerves. She had this feeling frequently...mostly in bassoon exams...but never like this...this was the first time she would use her singing voice in public. She had always hated hearing her singing voice on tap, thinking it sounded much like a child, rather than a girl turning into the woman that she would one day become.

Lucy stood on the "X" on the ground, staring at the audience with a huge smile on her cherry red painted lips, her eyes rimmed in black, matching her black satin dress which she loved, (It was long enough to hid her size two feet)

Lucy took a deep breathe a began to sing:

With the shadows I've become one,
I can no longer face the sun,
I have come to see your face in darkness,
Rather than the light,
But in my dreams I see you,
I hide my tears and reach out,
And touch your shoulder,
To show I am there.

Always there....
I my love flows like a river,
Always there...
I am beside you there,
Always there...
A comfort to you,
Aways there...

All alone with my demons,
I have now come to please them,
But when I serve,
I only think of you,
But then there in the shadows,
You saw me and you loved me...
And I knew that you were always there.

Always there....
I my love flows like a river,
Always there...
I am beside you there,
Always there...
A comfort to you,
Aways there...

Ooooooooooh.....Always there....



As Lucy finished her song...she felt she was one with herself. For the first time in her life...she felt secure...and she was happy...

Dress: dress

Song: Of my own composition...

I looked out at the audience, my heart in my mouth. The light were blinding and all I could see was the microphone infront of me, but I knew that the audience was there, waiting. I grabbed the mike with a clammy hand. I looked down at myself to make sure I hadn't forgotten any of my stage clothed. I was wearing a purple strappy top with an electric green women's siut jacket over it. I wore green trousers that flared out at the end and purple high-healed shoed with rounded toes.
I looked roung to the rest of my group who were wearing similar clashing colours. Ella, the pianist, in turquiosy blue and dark pink, and Sarah, with her saxophone, in red and yellow.
I turned back to the audience, closed my eyes, and listened to the rythm Ella started up on the piano. I took a deap breath, opened my eyes, and stepped forwards.

It all started,
As my li-ife
When I was younger,
Everybody used to say
Oh, what a beautiful voice you have
Please, oh, please, sing us a song

But I wouldn't
No, I cou-ouldn't
I do not know what gripped me
But the fear i felt inside me
Was too much for me to bear

Afer that, people used to ask me
What do you want to do when you grow up?
I answered in vain
I wanna be a singer
So, they laughed
Saying that was not a job.

With those words, I unhooked the microphone from it's stand and walked out to the croud.

But here I am,
In front of you
Singing my heart out
Telling you what I think
Of the world
Of the wououourld...

With that, I started the chorus.

So here's to singing
To mu-usic
To any sort of sound
To rythm
To the dance floor
To the dance floor
So here's to the DJ
To any party people
To ev-er-y pa-arty person

I walked back to the mike holder to put the microphone back in place, thrilled to hear the audience's cheers. I waited for Sarah to finish her saxiphone solo. Then, taking a deep breath...

So there you are,
I have proved it to the world,
Stagefri-ight can be cu-ured.

You just need to practice,
To pra-actice,
To realise what tallent you have
In your voice
In your vo-oice

So here's to singing
To mu-usic
To any sort of sound
To rythm
To the dance floor
To the da-ance floor
So here's to the DJ
To any party people
To ev-er-y pa-arty person.

I repeated the chorus again one last time. I gazed out over the croud. How many people were there? A hundred? Five hundred? And they were all looking at me! My band! Hearing my voice and my friends splendid instruments. A rush of excitement ran through me and i felt slightly faint, but i looked over the audience and a braod grin spread across my face.
Many people seek Heaven. Well, I had just found it.

((I'm not sure if you were supposed to use an actual song or make one up, so I used one of my own.))

The icy blue pupils of Phoenix studied the audience set before her, their faces each lit the room up as she appeared on the old stage of which she would sing her heart out. Nervously, taking the microphone into her hands, she took one finally breath as the song she had memorized a million times escaped her lips.

Now the day has come
We are forsaken this time

There first verse echo within the microphone as my nerves started to kick in, telling myself to be calm as my soprano vocal took over me, filling the room with an eerie silent as if the audience where intrigued to hear me sing.

We lived our lives in our paradise,
As gods we shaped the world around
No borderlines we'd stay behind,
Though balance is something fragile

While we thought we were gaining,
We'd turn back the time, it still slips away
Our time has run out, our future has died,
There's no more escape

The sound of the bass of the song, absorbed her nerves as Phoenix’s voice began to grow louder gradually expanding into the silent room. Her body became at ease with the atmosphere of the song as she found her hips swaying lightly to the music.

Now the day has come,
We are forsaken,
There's no time anymore
Life will pass us by,
We are forsaken,
We're the last of our kind
Her breathing rapidly picked up, as the song grew faster. She wasn’t prepared to mess up now.

The sacrifice was much too high,
Our greed just made us all go blind
We tried to hide what we feared inside
Today is the end of tomorrow

The songs slowed, giving her time to breath, all nerves of which had previously had existed had been estimated from her.

As the sea started rising,
The land that we conquered just washed away
Although we all have tried to turn back the tide,
It was all in vain

Now the day has come,
We are forsaken,
There's no time anymore
Life will pass us by, we are forsaken,
Only ruins stay behind

Yet again the song speeded, as her lung filled with oxygen, she prepared herself once more for the climax, she knew she could do this and that what she planned on doing so.
Now the day has come
We are forsaken this time

Now the day has come,
We are forsaken,
There's no time anymore

Now the day has come
The day has come
The day has come.

Breathing hard one last time, the song came to a close as the finally verse played, slower then the other but the bass echo within the room, her voice at its peak, she felt as if she was going to break but prove herself wrong again. Glancing down towards the stage floor; she had thought she had failed, she didn’t expect to be greeted with cheers. Phoenix’s eyes glanced out into the audience her face lit up with a bright smile. She had done it, she had proven herself wrong; she could do it.


Song: Within Temptation - Forsaken.
Dress-

Hayley bit her lip as she walked slowly on stage.

She took a deep breath, and closed her eyes as the music began to play. Nobody had ever heard her sing, not even Holly. No one even knew she could carry a tune.
A shiver ran down her spine, as she smoothed her dress, and thought of all the bad things that might go wrong.

What if I mess up? Forget my lyrics?! What if I faint?
A hundred thoughts ran through her mind, in the few seconds she had left.
Here goes nothing, she thought.

The introduction ended, and Hayley began to sing.


I am finding out that maybe I was wrong
That I've fallen down and I can't do this alone

Stay with me, this is what I need, please?

Sing us a song and we'll sing it back to you
We could sing our own but what would it be without you?

Hayley smiled slightly, as the next verse came up.


I am nothing now and it's been so long
Since I've heard the sound, the sound of my only hope

This time I will be listening.

Sing us a song and we'll sing it back to you
We could sing our own but what would it be without you?

This heart, it beats, beats for only you
This heart, it beats, beats for only you

This heart, it beats, beats for only you
My heart is yours

This heart, it beats, beats for only you
My heart is yours
(My heart, it beats for you)

This heart, it beats, beats for only you (It beats, beats for only you)
My heart is yours (My heart is yours)

This heart, it beats, beats for only you (Please don't go now, please don't fade away)
My heart, my heart is yours (Please don't go now, please don't fade away)

(Please don't go now, please don't fade away) My heart is yours
(Please don't go now, please don't fade away) My heart is yours
(Please don't go, please don't fade away)
(Please don't go now, please don't fade away) My heart is...

Hayley finished, her heart pounding, and her mouth a wide smile. She had done it- and hadn't messed up.
She laughed, and bowed slightly.

Holly shuffled from foot to foot, like she often did before playing basketball, and during hockey matches.
A kind of warm up, to let out all negative thoughts and feelings and concentrate on the only thing that was important.
Pete Wentz.

Holly glanced at herself in the mirror and walked out on stage, looking smug.

Pete began to play his electric guitar as soon as she approached.

"You are a getaway car,
a rush of blood to the head
But me,
I'm just the covers on top of your bed
You steer away in a rear view mirror,
you make my head swim
I keep you warm
and won't ask you where you've been

With your backless black dress soaked to the skin
When it's said and done they're all scrambling
And we're friends, we're friends
Just because we move units

Strike us like matches,
cause everyone deserves the flames
We only do it for the scars and stories,
Not the fame
At least everyone is trying,
everyone is shining
Everyone deserves the flames but it's such a shame
Such a shame

The sounds of this small town make my ears hurt (make my ears hurt)
Oh yeah, you caught me. But I caught you way worse
They say, "You want a war? You've got a war."
But who are you fighting for?
The tides out, the ship's run aground
We drown traitors in shallow water

With your backless black dress soaked to the skin
When it's said and done they're all scrambling
And we're friends, we're friends
Just because we move units

Strike us like matches,
cause everyone deserves the flames
We only do it for the scars and stories,
Not the fame
At least everyone is trying,
everyone is shining
Everyone deserves the flames but it's such a shame
Such a shame

Everyone is trying, everyone is shining
Everyone deserves the flames but it's such a shame
Such a shame

Strike us like matches,
cause everyone deserves the flames
We only do it for the scars and stories,
Not the fame
At least everyone is trying,
everyone is shining
Everyone deserves the flames but it's such a shame
Such a shame...

Holly grinned, thoroughly pleased with herself, and skipped off stage, blowing the Pete a kiss, of course, cause he's Pete Wentz.

((No one can argue that that is not one of the best songs ever written. Except ... y'know ... you guys .... ))

Why did I sign up for this?
Mistletoe had asked herself that question over and over again. Why? Why? Why? Ok, no reason to panic, she told herself, you have a wonderful voice. Don’t worry about it… She heard Holly finish, and groaned. It was her turn.
She looked down at her outfit. Maybe I’m a little too dressy… Oh no, I’m too dressy! Nonsense, I look fine. It’s a gorgeous Givinchy dress, and it was a bargain, so don’t worry about that either… With another groan, she realised that she was obnoxious
Ok, concentrate. She put on a smile which she hoped was dazzling, and stepped out from behind the curtain. The kind applause made her feel a little less nauseated.
She took hold of the mike, and made a sign to the pianist behind her to let him know she was ready. He started, a soft tune with a nice rhythm. The familiar melody calmed her, and she sang with an alto voice, full of emotion:

Come up to meet you,
Tell you I'm sorry,
You don't know how lovely you are.

I had to find you,
Tell you I need you,
Tell you I set you apart.

Tell me your secrets,
And ask me your questions,
Oh let's go back to the start.

Runnin' in circles,
Comin' up tails,
Heads on the science apart.

Nobody said it was easy,
It's such a shame for us to part.
Nobody said it was easy,
No one ever said it would be this hard.
Oh take me back to the start.

I was just guessin',
At numbers and figures,
Pullin' the puzzles apart.

Questions of science,
Science and progress,
Do not speak as loud as my heart.

Tell me you love me,
Come back and haunt me,
Oh on I rush to the start.

Runnin' in circles,
Chasin' our tails,
Comin' back as we are.

Nobody said it was easy,
Oh it's such a shame for us to part.
Nobody said it was easy,
No one ever said it would be so hard.
I'm goin' back to the start.

As the guitar took over, she felt nothing but pride that she had managed to overcome my aversion to singing in public. She recognised where she had to pick it up again, and finished with rather simple words.

Ahhooooooooooooooooo
Ahhooooooooooooooooo
Ahhooooooooooooooooo

The instruments faded, and she concluded with another:

Ahhooooooooooooooooo…

Mistletoe held the note there, then let it fade…
The applause this time felt more real, and she smiled, a smile from the heart.

Wow. I did it.
