---

Name:
Theresa Blue

Age:
17
Instruments:
Percussionist, but specializes in mallet percussion for band, snare for marching, and dabbles in set

Personality:
Theresa is a very outgoing girl, and loves getting involved. She's been a part of every performance event she could find and would allow such a young person in. Most were only auditions, but she enjoyed every minute of it, as it's what she dreams of doing.
Though she is very outgoing, she is very reserved, and likes to keep her feelings and personal life to herself. If she's upset though, whether it's angry or sad, if you get her at the right point, she could just tell you her life story.
She is very musically talented, but she has a downside to her talent. She can read rhythms, but can't read notes. She has to write all her notes in.

Other:
Also dabbles in guitar, bass, and piano but only for herself, wouldn't play for others anytime soon

Name:
Salvatore Wessel

Age:
19

Instruments:
Drummmer, typically set

Personality:
Sal is a very laid back kind of guy. He does what he has to and that's all he plans on doing that day. Somehow, out of all the little he did, he managed to get on the conductors good side and is now the current drum major.
Though he may be a very lazy person, he does step up when needed, probably why he is the current drum major.
He can also be very flirtatious as he thinks he is high than most because of his major statues. He can be a little egotistical, conceited, and more often than not, very vain.

Other:
The current drum major, typically plays set for Jazz Band.

Freddie Gerdie

---

Name:
Fredrika "Freddie" Gerdie

Age:
17

Instruments:
Saxophone, played clarinet for a while.

Personality:
Was forced into learning an instrument in middle school, then she decided that she liked it. Freddie's a pretty laid back person. She's not the best at sax, but she's not the worst either. A definite slacker, so she probably won't do anything with sax after high school. Charismatic in an odd way. Could be considered a tomboy, but she really, really doesn't care about labels.

Other:
Is an artist, and is constantly sketching odd designs. Curses creatively. Sometimes plays electric guitar in the jazz band.

Grover Santiago

Grover is short, standing at a mere 5 feet 2 inches. He is not the most in-shape person, either. However, it's nothing out of the ordinary.

---

Name:
Grover Santiago

Age:
16

Instruments:
Mainly tuba/sousaphone, but is just as good at euphonium.

Personality:
Grover's the kind of person that it's impossible to stay sad around. He's funny, sweet, and a tad naive. He loves to have fun, and is quite reckless in his pursuit of it. He's good with feelings, and by extension, girls. But he's not what anyone would call 'boyfriend material'. It's his mission to be friends with everyone, and so far, he's succeeding. This mission causes him to be too agreeable, and finds it hard to say 'no'. Grover is extremely irresponsible, but is quite dedicated to the things he cares about: music, and his friends.
This happy-go-lucky personality is really a facade, but no one has seen what lies underneath.

Other:
Plays cello, violin, and dabbles in the mandolin. He is a very good writer (is in Journalism), and speaks a bit of Spanish.

Noelle Webster

Noelle is not exactly what you would call a large person. She stands four feet, eight inches tall (though she swears she’s still growing!) and weighs a mere 85 pounds. That said, she carries herself with all the grace and dignity of a person much bigger than her – it’s hard to look down on her. She takes great care of her appearance, as in she won’t leave the house until her eye makeup is perfect and her chestnut curls are glossy and smooth. Her wardrobe consists primarily of stylish dresses in pastel colors and collared shirts paired with skirts. On her person as often-- if not more often-- than her backpack is her clarinet case.

Name: Lauren Noelle “Ellie” Webster (Her friends call her Ellie, but she introduces herself as Noelle. And teachers call her Lauren.)

Age: Almost 14.

Instruments: B-flat clarinet, doubles on E-flat and A-flat piccolo clarinet during concert season.

Personality: A very serious, down-to-earth young girl. She always gives her all in her studies, resulting in her being in advanced classes. She’s also exceptionally dedicated to her music, practicing for multiple hours every day. Even though she only started playing clarinet two years ago, her work ethic and ability to learn rapidly have made her the best clarinetist in the band, a thing that a lot of the older players resent. This said, her dedication has also isolated her from her peers. She can be rather snooty and condescending towards those who she thinks don’t put in enough effort.

Other: Is in book club. Was also captain of the middle school chess team last year. Also is looking at putting together a clarinet choir club for the school.

Liz Webster

Liz is of just slightly less than average height, standing five feet three inches. She weighs 115 pounds, maintaining a rather slender figure. Her style can be described as rather carefree—while she does put on makeup it’s kept to a bare minimum, just enough to bring a bit of a sparkle to her hazel-blue eyes. She doesn’t style her hair, letting it fall down her shoulders in its natural, slightly chaotic waves. For clothing she favors loose, flowy shirts and soft leggings or skirts.

Name: Miriam Elizabeth “Liz” Webster – And don’t you /dare/ mention the pun.

Age: 17

Instruments: B-flat clarinet since she was eight years old. Piano lessons since the same time. Played flute in 8th, 9th, and 10th grade.

Personality: Rather carefree and laid-back, Liz has been skating on her musical talent for some time now. She started playing clarinet in third grade and was the best in her middle school band, even as a sixth grader, so she assumed she had enough raw talent to just coast by. She does still love music, of course, but she puts the majority of her effort into the various clubs she’s a part of, and prefers to spend time hanging out with her friends than practicing. This led to her getting third chair, behind her best friend and her own little sister, which she harbors no small amount of resentment about.

Other: Does journalism club, art club, and a bunch of other extracurriculars as well. Would do clarinet choir, if there was one.

[GirlOnMarz]

Ashanti

Ashanti stands at five feet, four inches. She weighs about 150 pounds, give or take, has a curvy figure. She dyed her hair dark brown, and it reaches her mid back when straightened. She spends a lot of time perfecting her makeup every morning. Her wardrobe consists of jeans, shorts, leather jackets, and plain T-shirts. Most of her closet space, though, is taken up by sneakers.

---

Name:
Ashanti "Shawn" Jones

Age:
16

Instruments:
Trumpet

Personality:
Ashanti leans much more toward introversion than extroversion. She cherishes her "me-time," prefers to observe before she acts, and contributes to conversation only when she thinks she has something relevant to say. She focuses solely on her academics and music. Although having many friends in and outside of band, she isn't the "nicest" person you'll ever meet. She's blunt and straightforward, and doesn't really care whether or not she hurts your feelings. Ashanti is also brutally honest.

Other:
Has a pretty decent voice & has been taking singing and piano lessons since she was 5. In Chorus

Jacob

Jacob stands at six feet, three inches, and likes to keep in shape. His curly black hair grows pretty quickly, but he always keeps it short and neat. His wardrobe consists of jeans, plain T-shirts, and Jordan's.

---

Name:
Jacob "Jo" Jones

Age:
17

Instruments:
Alto Sax

Personality:
Jacob is basically the complete opposite of Ashanti; a spontaneous, optimistic individual. He loves to have fun. He doesn't stop and think before he speaks or acts, and avoids looking at long-term consequences for his actions. He loves to be the center of attention and perform for people, and is constantly putting on a show for others to entertain them and make them happy. He would love nothing more than for life to be a continual party. Many see him as a "class clown," but Ashanti just sees him as a trouble-making big brother.

Other:
He has a good voice as well, but isn't as good as Ashanti. Loves to dance whenever he has free time. In Theater.

Name:

Tobias "Toby" Woods

Age:

17

Instruments:

Guitar, also plays drums.

Personality:

Tobias could be considered the funny, laid back, and smart-alec type of person. He usually acts like he doesn't have a care in the world, even though he really does. He is a fun person to have around, even though he can be sometimes awkward when it comes to making friends. He is friendly, he just is not really great with making friends. Tobias can be serious when he needs to be, and tries his best at things he really likes. He can be surely counted on. He loves music, it has to be one of his most favorite things. He even likes them more than video games.

Other:

Tobias likes to play video games, and does sketch a little. He also has experience in vocals, so he could sing a little.

[Erklings25]

Tudor is rather tall for his age, standing at 6". He has thick raven black hair that curls at the bottom and a fringe that covers his forehead and right eye. He has fair skin and deep-set, cold grey eyes, like steel. He has a reasonable amount of stubble that he tries to get rid of for school, but it keeps on coming back, much to his chagrin. His wardrobe consists of polo shirts, slacks, and jeans.

---

Name:
Tudor Hughes

Age:
17

Instruments:
A wunderkind on the flute, he dabbles in piano and double bass.

Personality:
Tudor isn't exactly the nicest guy in Band, but he doesn't mean to be. He is usually withdrawn, quiet, and unintentionally rude. Though he has been in America for a year now, he resents people who ask about why he transferred schools and moved from Wales. Who wants to talk about 16 years of busking, slumming it, bullying, and poverty? Not Tudor, that's for sure. Standoffish around most, he tends to get red in the face around some girls that he deems as 'pretty.' The people he get along with are the people he feels understand him and his strange ways. He is loyal and kind to them, but he doesn't make friends the easily.

Other
Tudor is a member of book club, even though he looks down on the choice of literature.

[SouffleGirl123]

Hider

Jacinta stands at the tiny height below her best friend at 5'1". She poasessed quite a slim figure. As far as style goes Jacinta claim she has none, she tends to dress for how she's feeling, the weather and comfort over anything else. She keeps her make-up quite natural in most occasions, however, occasionally colours her lips bright red.

Name: Jacinta Redgrove
Age: 17
Instruments: Bb clarinet, however, can (and has) played Eb bass Clarinet and Soprano saxophone for the band if they need a playerin those sections
Personality: Jacinta doesn't have a particular 'natural' talent, however, what she does have is a lot of determination and will work her fingers to the bone to achieve what she wants. With this she still tends to not achieve as high as those who work on their natural ability making them high flyers which lives Jacinta not a huge standout in, well, anything much to her frustration. Jacinta is rather shy toward those who she doesn't know to at least a decent extent, she doesn't quite avoid them, however, won't say much or take much notice to them unless they approach her. Those close enough to though to opens up to completely, joking around at time and such. She has quite the kind heart and gentle nature, she's a good go-to to cry on, however, often goes unnoticed. She wants the best from her friends and will try and push them to pit in more effort if she notes them not doing so. She easily stressed and doubts herself greatly and when she is stressed she's prone to snapping at her friends.
Other: Despite choir Jacinta isn't in many extra-curricular activities or 'clubs' per se, however, she joins a lot of school teams for academic and musical school competitions.
