Back stage, hidden from the crowd behind a maroon curtain, Amy looked down at her watch as the band finally finished setting up their equipment. They were thirty minutes behind on schedule! Who knew getting the second stage and band set up would've taken so long?! The festival was supposed to be half way into the show and wrapping up by now! She hoped the nearby locals wouldn't mind the noise for another hour and hopefully the mayor wouldn't hear any complaints tomorrow. As if being late wasn't enough, it seemed like the lead singer of the band was wasted as well - Amy could smell the bitter scent of alcohol wafting off the girl from ten feet away. It was a bit irksome, but there were no other options for the live music show tonight. In truth, Amy hadn't been able to nail down another band for the festival before she reached out to the Snype siblings. She had known they could be trouble around town, but she took the risk anyway. At least she'd heard a few good things here and there about the way their music sounded. Plus, the Fox Hole Tavern seemed to host them all the time. So the locals [i]must[/i] like their music!

[color=pink]"Ready?"[/color] Amy asked, directing her question at Zach, the person she had set this all up with. He gave her a nod of approval as he picked up his guitar and Amy grinned and looked toward the sound engineers. Giving them her own nod of approval to turn on the wireless mic in her hand, Amy walked out from behind the curtains excitedly. The crowd before her, a sea of eager faces, was buzzing with anticipation. 

[color=pink]"Ladies and gentlemen! Are you ready for the crescendo to our festival tonight?!"[/color] The crowd cheered, their enthusiasm a heartwarming reward for the hard work she had put into organizing this whole event. [Color=pink]"I'm sure many of you already know them, but I am thrilled to introduce to you a local gem,"[/color] Amy continued, a bright smile spread across her face. [Color=pink]"Their music truly reflects their talent, passion, and a love for what they do. Without further ado, please give a warm welcome to... 'Vermillion Ablaze'!"[/color]

The stage lights shifted to a deep, fiery red, and the crowd burst into cheers and whistles as the band members ran out from behind the curtain and took their places on stage. Amy jogged back behind the curtain once more as Emily aggressively took hold of the standing mic, confidence exuding from her.

Walk this way
You and me babe

Amy raised a brow as the other two band members began to chime in with the recognizable melody of "Pour Some Sugar On Me". That wasn't really what Amy had expected the locals to be so excited about, but hey - they sounded great!
