    —Requisite
    Full Name: Leah Marie Diamond
    Nicknames: Lee, Saxy Lady
    Age: 17

    Distinctive Features: Striking Eyes & Resting Bored Face
    Body Mods: Ear Piercings & Tattoo on Right Wrist

    —Psyche
    Personality:
    Band is Leah’s entire life. In a world where everything and everyone around her is lowkey boring (at least compared to fiction), she finds band to be the one thing that gets her blood pumping and makes her enjoy life. Of course, going into her senior year is a major cause of stress and panic—what the hell is she going to do with herself when she graduates high school? She’s ignoring that particular fact until a later date; for now, she’s focused on making the best of her last high school marching season and keeping up the stellar reputation of the saxophone line. To her, the saxophones are everything, and she is sometimes like a proud mom whenever she talks about them. She can only hope the other saxophones have a similar passion as her when it comes to friendly intersection competition.

    It should be noted, of course, that Leah is not a particularly skilled musician. She can play her alto saxophone and has been for nearly ten years. She can play a melody LOUDLY if the balance calls for it. She’s had a solo or two in concert band. However, she does not have her scales memorized, can’t tell a major scale from a minor one (she gets frustrated if they’re brought up), and despite her improving embouchure, she can’t play a lot of the notes below the staff. Her teachers can tell her she has a great tone for days, but Leah is not meant to be taking up any sort of musician mantel in the near future, and she’s perfectly okay with that. Oddly enough, her real skill lies in marching, which she likes to blame on her “marching genetics” from her parents. She can dress a line like nobody’s business, and her feet practically glide across the field. Even though it exhausts her, she adores marching, and is very proud of her skill in it. She worked hard to be able to claim her spot as A1 on the field, and she’s not going to let that effort go to waste.

    Outside of band (is there such a thing during marching season?), Leah does in fact have other interests. They are many, and it often seems impossible that Leah could have such a wide range of hobbies. For one, she loves anime, but she also loves reading, and she somehow manages to balance both of them rather well. She has aspirations to be a writer, hence her tattoo (that her parents let her get over the summer), but she also wouldn’t mind being an English teacher. She likes to say that in short, she’s a nerd, and this is clear from the way she perks up whenever the name of a show or book or anime she likes comes up in a conversation twenty feet away from her. If she was on top of looking at colleges (which she’s not), she’d probably go to a liberal arts college. Critical thinking happens to be her wheelhouse. Well, that and asking the band director what the plan is for a rainy day.

    Virtues: passionate, critical thinking, resourceful, sociable
    Vices: temperamental, easily frustrated, one-track mind,
    Likes: band, saxophones, anime & reading & writing, water breaks
    Dislikes: "music talk," undressed lines, other section leaders stepping in on her turf, football, most sports actually
    Quirks: can't memorize her music in a timely manner but can memorize pep songs like no one's business; hates sixteenth notes with a fiery passion and will tell you about it
    Fears: that the friends she's made here don't actually care about her; that one day she'll wake up and it will have all meant nothing

    —History
    Bio:
    Leah was born to marching band royalty, as it were. Or at least, that’s how they liked to phrase it. Both Irene Calloway and Thomas Diamond did marching band throughout high school and college, earning section leader positions during both tenures. Her mother was even drum major in high school. Even after graduating college, they were dedicated marching band alumni, and when they got married and had children, they made sure to raise them to love band just as much as they did.

    It worked with the first daughter, Lindsay. A musical prodigy, she had perfect pitch like her mother, and she had taken on the violin and the French horn like her mother and father, respectively. When it was her time to participate in marching band, she would play the mellophone, her counter-melodies soaring over the woodwinds in a way that would bring tears to the Diamonds’ eyes. Tears like diamonds, if you will. But first, the matter of their second daughter, Leah.

    Leah was born when Lindsay was six years old. From the start, Leah showed an interest in music, which was a good sign. However, she did not have the wherewithal to practice every waking moment like Lindsay. At first, there wasn’t a true sign of a problem, as Leah could read music just find and was strangely adept at recognizing enharmonics (don’t ask). Then they realized she wasn’t exactly improving. In fact, it was pointed out to Leah in middle school that she’d been playing her alto saxophone incorrectly for years. While she had a miraculous tone, her embouchure was all wrong. Leah tried to fix what was wrong, but she got too easily frustrated with the more complicated rhythms and the way her music teachers just tended to yell rather than try to help her learn.

    Her parents weren’t exactly helpful. They were busy helping Lindsay pick out a college with a wonderful marching band program and attending to the youngest Diamond sibling, Leonard, four years younger than Leah herself. That was just fine by Leah. She took to reading more often than she already was, sometimes even forgoing homework to do so. Anime quickly drew her attention as well. She still loved music, of course, but it wasn’t everything to her like it was to her parents and siblings. It was something she did for fun, no other reason.

    When Leah started high school, her sister was finally out of the house. Her shadow was still sticking around, but not as much. Her parents had enrolled her at the high school marching band camp run by Stanton University. Leah was nervous—she knew next to nothing about marching band save for her parents’ and Lindsay’s stories. That, and who else had a last name like Diamond? On the first day of camp, the band director recognized her similar facial structure and the fact that Leah was fond of counter melodies. But what really drew his attention was Leah’s marching. Even as a rookie, Leah seemed to fundamentally understand how marching worked. Her technique, while not flawless, was superb.

    Of course, this news excited her parents like nothing else. Leah didn’t show it, but it made her happy, too. She may not have been a jazz goddess on the saxophone, but she had a talent that her parents noticed! It was about time!

    Still, Leah wasn’t sure how to tell her parents that she wanted to go to a liberal arts college and not for music like the rest of her family. Even little Leonard was already saying he wanted to be a concert cellist. Leah felt a little trapped. Oddly enough, her parents’ home, marching band, was her only escape. The only place where it wasn’t just about the music. At least, not entirely. But now that she’s approaching the end of high school, she’ll have to tell them sometime.

    First, she has to get through band camp alive. Fourth time’s the charm, right?

Jack T Michaelson​

IMG_8677.gif

Full name: Jack Thomas Michaelson
Nickname: Jacky, JT
Age: 14 (incoming freshman)
Birthday: May 6th
Instrument: Tenor drums (aka quads)
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Social media handle: @JTdrummer
Face claim: Daniel DiMaggio

WORK IN PROGRESS

History:

Early life: Jack, or “JT” as he is known by many, was born the only son to father and drummer Ken Michaelson and mother and singer Jessica. From a young age, music had always been a part of Jack’s life. In fact, the first time Jack ever touched a set of drumsticks was when he was two- sitting in his father’s lap as he guided JT’s little hands around the drum set. Needless to say it was love at first sight for the drums with JT. At the age of 5 he began taking drumming lessons. His mother and father always encouraged his drumming, giving him a supportive household to grow in- even if the constant banging did give them a headache or two.

Most of JT’s childhood was great for the most part, that was until when he hit the age of 10 and his mother tragically died.


Later life: When JT was only 10, his mother Jessica had passed away after a long battle with cancer. The death of his mother tore him apart and there was a noticeable shift in his behavior. He became more unruly and rebellious, his father barely able to control him. He’d stop doing his homework and over commit himself to drumming. Because of this abrasive personality change, JT and his father would often have verbal fights.

Eventually when JT turned 14 and was set to be an incoming high school freshman, his father signed him up for marching band camp- much to his dismay. His father wouldn’t budge- there was nothing he could do to convince his dad to get him out of band camp. Knowing he couldn’t get out of it, JT made a vow to himself to absolutely own his instrument.

Before band camp, JT had bought himself a special tenor drum practice pad knowing his dad had signed him up for the tenor drums on the drum line. JT went from the set to the marching quads, practicing his heart out everyday so by band camp he’d be a capable player. As much as JT doesn’t want to be going to band camp, he certainly isn’t going to quit or slack off- no, he would go all in, for his love of music and percussion. It was what his mother would’ve wanted.


Personality: JT might be a little bit too confident for his own good. Luckily he has the music talent to back up all that confidence, but sometimes it comes off as irritating and cocky. JT also has rebellious tendencies, often preferring to go off and do his own thing and quite literally march to the beat of his own drum. Will the headstrong freshman be seen adding an improv solo where none was called for? Absolutely.

Bio: Remy was born as an result of a one night stand between French musical artist Pierre Renault known as internationally as "Rein" and a fan who managed to gain VIP backstage past. Remy's mother was initially welcoming to the idea of an unplanned child though that quickly changed when she found out Rein had no interest in doing the honorable thing and left her high and dry. She took out her frustration on Remi when they were born becoming neglectful. In the first few years it was not so bad as Remi was raised by their mother's grandparents who instilled them with their love of music. She sing for them whenever she could.

However there came a point when they were 12 when their grandparents could not take care of them anymore and they returned to the care of their mother. They went from a relatively good upbringing to that neglect and abuse their mother inflicted on her. She meekly took the abuse for a couple of years being made to hide what was done to they behind a smile and only outlet being humour and music. Eventually they had enough and they snuck out in the middle of the night trying to find something better with no plan but stubbornness.

They found herself living on the street, slowly learning to survive on their own in a big city, stealing, begging and busking to get by, living in abandoned buildings and drifting from one homeless group and another. It was than when they began to crossdress for security at first and later becoming their identity. Most of the time their only companion was a stray cat they named Madam.

One day when she was performing on the street, she was approuched by a couple who took an interest in the young runaway. Though Remy was initially hesitated, they slowly earned Remy trust and took her in and helped Remi as their own. They helped them catch up to her and encourage d her to join a band camp they knew.

      Lanky in stature, with pale looks. Clothing wise, they prefer lighter colors, baggier with few accessories. Although they love to collect jewelry, too much feels unnecessary to them. They've always loved gothic looks and music; it isn't a wonder that they own a good bit of gothic style clothing and jewelry. There isn't much thought put into Parker's hair, its more of just what they feel in the day. It wouldn't be uncommon to see dyed hair on them or certain cuts.
