Introduction, rules, and forms

Sam's POV

The first place I go used to be the last place I wanted to be: the principal's office. Mr. Schue is waiting there with a cup of coffee and a smile. "New year Sam, you ready?"

I nodded. "As I'll ever be." It's something I still can't quite understand, the nervousness that comes with each new school year. It's not the same as when I was a student despite forming the same pit in my stomach. Even though I've been teaching here for almost nine years now, it's always the same. I wonder if the new students will like me. I wonder how we'll do in competitions. I wonder what the other directors will do or say, and even… this is the worst and probably dumbest thought… will glee survive another year? Although remembering my own high school years and the in club drama, maybe that last one isn't as dumb as I think. But I'm the teacher now. I should be able to handle a group of high school kids. I've managed this long right?

Jaydian's POV

"Eh Kicks, what's got your head spinning huh?" I feel an exaggerated tap on the shoulder that's almost as bad as any NFL hit, and I know without turning around that it's my brother. "You've been staring at that door for like a half hour already."

We're standing outside the door to our director's office as I'm struggling to muster up the courage to go inside. It's not that he isn't a decent guy, just intense, and I know that what I'm going to do will shake things up pretty good. And not just with the club.

"You want this right? Clearly." Jamie nods. "If the way you've been practicing this Summer…"

"Jamie, shut up!" I snap.

"There it is!" Jamie smirks.

I know he's right, because I do want this. I've been told that I was going to be a member of duly noted since I was ten years old, and I ended up making it too, all the way to a captain's spot, but I wonder why. Was it because I had the skill or because of who my family is? The way I see it, if I can't do this, if I can't make it into New Directions, I'm dust. I'm nothing but a legacy. And I don't want that. So I knock on the door.

Ashleigh's POV

I walk into the double doors. I can't believe it. My first year at a new school, and it's McKinley. As soon as I found out where I was going to school, I began researching clubs. Because I always join clubs, it's an unspoken rule, because being home sucks. And clubs at a performing arts school, a must. Dad would say I'm being unreasonable, his favorite phrase, but I'm right. And a few competitions, some trophies, that'd be enough to prove to him I'm fine, that I can have a normal high school existence. So I know what I'm going to do this year, and it's gonna be fantastic.

A/N: Well hello fellow gleeks, here with my attempt at a SYOC. This is a post finale spin with McKinley as a performing arts high school. Canon details are the same: Will is the principal and Sam Evans is the director of the New Directions. There are also the other three show choirs mentioned in the finale: JV, the Trouble Tones (Girls) and Duly Noted (Boys) which Jaydian was a co-captain of along with his brother Jamie. As such character submissions will work as follows. I will be accepting 12 New Directions Members, maybe more if I really really like a character, and up to two from each person, through PM only. I will not take characters from reviews or guest reviews as it is too hard to contact who submitted the character and I don't want spoilers. Just indicate whether you will submit or not in a review so I can look out for your character, and put Glee SYOC and your character's name as the subject. Other characters can be recurring and members of other choirs. Characters should be original and not children of Alumnae, although they can be related (cousin, half-sibling, niece/nephew etc...) I will accept one set of twins, but forms should be submitted separately with an indication they are twins and it will count as two characters. How it works in my story is the Trouble Tones, The New Directions and Duly Noted, despite being in the same high school compete against each other in competitions similar to Sectionals 2011 when the Trouble Tones competed against New Directions. Later in the story, there will be outside choirs from other schools, but that will be a while off.

Other recurring characters I need are directors for the other three choirs, Trouble Tones, JV and Duly Noted. The stipulation for Duly Noted's director is that he is highly competitive. I will give more details to whoever is interested in creating Duly Noted's director as it connects to Jaydian's storylines and I don't want to post spoilers. Forms will be on the top of my profile and the deadline for submissions will be August 10th. Happy creating! :)
