(A/N) Greetings! For those of you who read my other series I mentioned with the last chapter that I had something planned for today, well here it is! Before we begin I just want to go over a few things real quick. If any of you are worried if my other story will be stopping don't be. True "Miraculous" Night will still be regularly updated. In fact, the plan is to post a chapter of that and a chapter of this new one every week! If that changes I will make sure to let you all know. Another thing is that this story is going to be featuring some OCs (which may or may not be featured in another story I'm thinking about writing) so I hope you like them.

Now just a little fun bit of info for you guys. I got the idea for this series about a month ago when I saw a Miraculous fanfic in a concert band setting. Now I did both concert band and marching band in high school so I thought it would be fun to get a marching band series out there (if there are any others out there I'd actually really love to see them) with that being said some of the details of this story are based on TRUE EVENTS that happened in my marching band days. I feel like I've talked enough already… so here we go! Hope you all enjoy this new series!

Prologue:

In May as tradition for this high school, tryouts were held for the next school years Drum Majors for the Marching Band. Future seniors and even a few juniors would meet to try and prove why they were the right choice to lead the band in parades and competitions. This year auditions were held on a Friday after school in the band room as usual. Slowly as the time neared hopeful individuals met outside the door, some obviously more nervous than the rest.

One said individual was pacing back and forth. Dark hair tied up in their usual pigtails with bangs that framed her worried blue eyes. Another girl leaned against a wall watched the frantic girl in silence.

"I really don't think I can do this… I honestly don't know if I'm cut out to be a Drum Major."

She had been talking like this since school had gotten out almost 30 minutes before, once her best friend had left for other club activities it had become more and more strenuous. The other girl who was watching decided at that moment she'd heard enough of this and pushed herself off the wall. Grabbing the panicking girls by the shoulders she looked down at her with seriousness in her hazel eyes as she spoke.

"Marinette, listen to me, out of all the people trying out today you are definitely the most qualified for the role."

"Why do you keep saying that Kate? I'm obviously not, I'm clumsy, I'm always messing up, and I'm not even the best musician."

The girl Kaitlyn just shook her head, "Drum Majors don't have to be the best musicians remember? Do I really need to list off all the reasons you will get it? Trust me, the list is quite long. So if anyone is gonna get it it's going to be you, and whoever your partner is going to be will be lucky to have you."

Those words seemed to calm her down a bit. Kaitlyn released her shoulders to fix her braided brown hair. As she did this Marinette spoke again.

"What about you Kate? I know you've been working with Wayzz to practice conducting for the past few months."

The brunette shrugged. "If I get it I get it but honestly even with that extra practice you are definitely still better than I am. Best case scenario it's you and me, if not I can live with whatever position I'm given. All I know is whoever the Drum Majors will be, it's because the old band director knew they would be the perfect team."

Everyone in the band knew how this worked. Their current band director who everyone called Wayzz invited the retired director from a few years back to help pick. It's said that old Fu was an amazing judge of character, always picking those who weren't just great for the band, but also ended up as close friends or even in some cases, a couple.

Just then the door to the band room opened. Wayzz adjusted his glasses as he looked at the group in from of him.

"Well then, everyone inside is ready for all of you, let's begin shall we?"

All the students slowly filed in. The two girls looked at each other and nodded as they headed inside to begin the tryout.

It was now Monday. All of those waiting for the results had dealt with a rather stressful weekend to see what positions they would fill. The list was to be posted right as school finished that day so all they could do was wait some more.

As the last bell of the day rang, Marinette and her friend Alya made their way to the music hall.

"I really wish you had tried out Alya, I feel like I would have been less stressed if you were there."

"Please girl I'd much rather just be a part of the band, besides now that I'll be taking over the school newspaper, having two big leadership roles would be no fun."

There was a crowd by one of the doors. Marinette could see Kaitlyn near the front looking up and down the list. A look of slight disappointment on her face. Marinette couldn't help but freeze where she stood at this sight.

"You know what never mind. Alya I told myself I could look but I just can't"

Kaitlyn hears the other two arguing and looks over to them.

"Marinette, you really should look, the results are interesting to say the least."

Alya nudges her friend forward, Marinette looked down to avoid the list until she was pushed right in front of it. She braces herself for disappointment and looks up.

"I…. I got it….."

"You did it! I just knew you'd get it girl!"

Alya had practically jumped on Marinette as she said that. Kaitlyn couldn't help but smile at the two.

"Congrats Mari I knew you'd get it."

Marinette turns her attention to the other girl.

"Wait Kate what position did you get then?"

"I'm one of the two Brass Captains, not Drum Major but hey, I get to help out more than I would as a section leader. Anyways I'll be working more with you and the other Drum Major."

Marinette and Alya realized they had been too excited over Marinette's success that they hadn't looked at who her partner was going to be. They both quickly turned their attention back to the list.

"Wait.." Marinette couldn't help but feel confused. "Who the heck is Adrien Agreste!?"
