CHAPTER 12

<YANG YU'S P.O.V>

The next day, when everyone met at lunch break they discussed the concert again, and Yu explained how things should probably go. They would start off with "Down to Earth," then they'd play a song that the others already knew, and Yu would learn the lyrics. They'ed do two other songs that you had written called, "Heavenly Stars" and "Broken Glass." While, "Down to Earth" and Broken Glass" was pop/rock songs, "Heavenly Stares" was more of a mix of Electronic and modern Jazz.

As they Talked they decided on how things would be set-up The gym of their school had a large Stage set up on the side that was used for things like plays or concerts.

Yoku was would be at the mid-back of the stage with the drums and Yu would be at the front where he had enough room to dance. Komaki would be set up at Yu's Left and Karu would be at the right. Finally, Yu announced something that surprised everyone. "Rin and Raya's band agreed to play as the opening act at the concert to draw in more listeners." When Yu announced this, May Leaned over and Grabbed Yu by the shoulder, beaming.

"Really, they actually agreed?" She exclaimed.

Yu Nodded, "They did. But only on the condition that we have a music competition with them at some point." Everyone agreed and they continued with preparations.

Because we didn't have much time until the concert we raised Practices from Tuesdays and Fridays to Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, along with during lunch break whenever they could. On Saturdays, since they couldn't get into the club room Yu gave everyone his address and told them to come over.

after that, the weekend came. Yu concentrated on writing the sheet music for the songs. The notes played by each instrument were different so Yu had to write them individually. It took Yu jours to write the music, along with that Yu talked with Rin and Raya about what songs they would play at the concert.

They decided to play three songs and have a fourth one planned if something went wrong. Yu sent a text to May to tell her that the music was ready for everyone to start practicing. Yu slept a lot on Sunday to make up for the sleep he missed while writing. The next day Yu brought his guitar to school with him, he rushed to the club room and dropped it off before any other students noticed.

When he got there, Karu had already arrived. Yu passed the sheet o music for the bass guitar to him and went to tune his one instrument. Yu hear Karu start practicing and he smiled, he hadn't expected he'd hear his music played before he graduated high school and joined his siblings in the music industry.

Yoku and Komaki arrived together and Yu passed both of them the sheet music. May didn't come to the club room that morning because she had to help a teacher out with something. She texted you letting him know, and he told the others. Komaki suddenly announced that they should make a group chat. Everyone agreed so they made one and invited May, soon after she accepted the invite.

At lunch everyone but lots of effort onto practicing the different songs. Yu already had all of his songs memorized since he'd been the one to write it he'd had more time to practice. He just ran over the songs a few times then sat down and started listening to the others play with May. Sometimes he'd stop one of them to change a note or two.

After two weeks of solo practicing. May and Yu both agreed to start practicing altogether. It took a while for Yu to sink with the others, but after a while he got it. Komaki and Yoku were able to sink together a lot faster than the rest of them. Yu wondered if it was because they spent so much time together.

After two more weeks of practicing together, everyone was doing quite well. They had almost three weeks before the concert so they started selling tickets. At first, it was slow then the second and third years started noticing that Musical Sky was having a concert and remembered the year before. They started buying tickets and they the first year did so two, whether it was because RIn and Raya's band was playing or because the older kids we buying tickets Yu wasn't really sure.

Yu didn't participate in selling tickets to the other students and their parents, but he did sell some tickets to some members of "Linx." soon all two hundred tickets were sold out and more people kept coming to buy tickets so Musical Sky had to get more. Since it was the first concert this year the tickets weren't very expensive. Everyone decided on twenty bucks a ticket. There were about four hundred students attending school here and almost all of them bought tickets. About two hundred other people such as parents and friends and just general people who heard of the concert bought tickets too.

Because he was talkative and easy to get along with, Komaki worked kind of like Musical Sky's Mascot. In total They raised about 1200 dollars. The money from the tickets was split between Musical Sky, the school and Rin and Maya's band. 10 dollars per ticket went to Musical sky while Five per ticket went to the school and five per ticket went to Rin and Maya's band. Musical Sky ended up with around six hundred dollars, while the school and rin and Raya's band both ended up with three hundred dollars.

Yu and the others were quite happy with how it turned out. After ticket selling was finished they had five days till the concert. They all started to work on setting up the stage and the others met the members of Rin and Raya's band.
