Our Time Has Come

It's show time!

"There ya go. The amps are set and Hayley's back there with the camera. There are a couple more around the stage and backstage. She asked me to set them up for your video." "Thanks Henry!" "No problem Gab!"

Henry was another one of my close friends, and he acted as our main technician. We were just outside the hospital, on a somewhat big stage, and people were starting to arrive. We had done the sound check a couple of hours earlier, and were now ready to rock out audience.

We fist-bumped each other before walking to the side-stage. Zach got onto the platform, and the curtains were closed. We heard the announcer call our name, and zach began to play the first chords of sweet child o mine. The curtains drew open, and the other guys walked on stage, unseen, as there was only one spotlight on zach. As the other instruments came in, the other spotlights came on, until the stage was completely illuminated I ran in front of everyone and jumped on top of an amp.

"HELLO EVERYBODY! ARE YOU READY TO ROCK?!" I yelled at the top of my lungs before singing.


My favourite song from the set was Summer Of '69 I had know the lyrics to it since I was three, and I still remembered them now.

In The End sounded really good because I took a guitar and did the rhythmic guitar part, so we had violin, two guitars, drums, bass and voice.

Then, we took a short break where I put on a dress over my pants and my green shirt, I placed my boots and jacket behind the drums and went to sit behind the piano. Zach took his other violin and we played Beth.

I quickly changed into my regular show outfit and we performed our two last songs. After Beds Are Burning, I thanked the crowed and we walked off. I jumped in Hayley's arms but Zach pulled me away to kiss her.

"It's almost hard to believe people loved Better In My Dreams so much!" Exclaimed Zach.

We all went home and Hayley took the footage with her. She promised me I would get to see the results by Tuesday. Maybe even by Monday night, depending on what her parents need her to do at their store. Her parents owned a clothing store, and I worked there with her.

I got home, and went straight to my room. I got undressed and took a long, hot shower. Then, I snuggled into bed and put on some music. I fell asleep listening to Saviour.

I had a weird dream. My band was in stage, but Michael had his guitar and Ashley Purdy was on the bass. Then, a deep voice joined me into some harmonies. I looked to the side to see Andy singing with me. Then, I woke up.

I turned my music off and got dressed to go to work. I threw on a pair of skinnies and a black tank top, pinning my hair away from my face and doing little to no makeup.

I hopped into my car and got a text from Michael.

Him: hey I'm getting some coffee, want me to bring you and Hayley some?
Me: Yeah same as usual plz
Him: ok see ya in ten

I drive off to the store to work a shorter shift, since I was only replacing someone for half of her shift. I believe she was getting back from a trip this morning and couldn't make it on time for the full shift.

Whatever

Anyways, Michael usually woke up early. So when I had to work early, he'd get me some coffee and a muffin at the same time as he goes off for his morning training at the local pool. He usually buys his breakfast on those days.

I got to the store at the same time as Michael. I grabbed my breakfast and thanked him. Then, I went to the back to find Hayley.

"Here, Michael brought us breakfast." "Thanks" she said.

We worked until the girl got back. Then, Hayley asked her parents if she could come over to my house. They said yes and we went up to her room to get her stuff.

"Bring your laptop so we can work on the video" I said. "I'm done cutting the videos into the pieces I want. All I have to do is put it together, add music and effects. Then, I'm done" she answered.

She put her stuff in my car and I drove us to my house. We decided to work in the music room.

By lunch time, we had the Beth video ready to have the extra effects and editing added, while the two others were still nowhere near done.

We took a break to eat. We made salads and homemade slushies and we sat on the patio, enjoying the nice temperature. Zach called her. I brought the dirty dishes in while they were talking. I quickly got lost in my thoughts. What if Black Veil Brides were playing at the festival? I should check it out. Maybe i'd meet Ashley! That would be amazing!

"I'm ready to work again" Hayley walked in the kitchen, putting her phone away. "Ok let's go!" We walked back to the music room and worked on the videos together until eleven at night. I got my brother to pick me up some food from the restaurant he works at, so I didn't have to stop working to get some food.

At eleven, we called it a night and went to bed. By eleven the next morning, we were both working again, trying to finish Better In My Dreams. Beth was perfect and New Year's Day only had the music left to add.

We worked non stop. I added the music to New Year's Day, while Hayley was taking care of Better In My Dreams. By nine that night, we saved our last changes. I texted all the boys, asking the to come to my house the nest morning to show them the results. If they like it, we send it.

Zach got there first, when the boys were all there, we watched all the clips. I was so excited! After Beth, we decided that it was perfect, so I prepared an email, introducing us:

Dear judges,

We are the Green Barons, a Canadian band from Ontario. The lead singer is gab, violinist is Zach, bassist is michael, drummer is David, and the guitarist is Jacob. Our technician is Henry. The one who filmed and edited the clips is Hayley.
We hope you liked it.

Thank you for your consideration,
The Green Barons

I nervously pressed send. We smiled at each other, and decided to go out and celebrate. I got everyone in my moms van and we went to McDonald's. God I hope it works out.
