List of the marching band leadership at the end! Here's a new chapter for you!
*Boop*
'Who the heck is Adrien Agreste?'
It was easy to say the girls were puzzled. There was no Adrien in the marching band currently and maybe even in the whole school. Who was this stranger who was going to be Marinette's partner?
"There's something vaguely familiar about that name, although I really can't place it…." Kaitlyn shrugged while saying this.
Marinette turned to look at the other two girls. "I guess our best option is to ask Wayzz right? We won't get anywhere if we don't."
Alya nodded at this while Kaitlyn checked the time on her phone and frowned when she saw.
"Looks like you two will have to do it without me. I gotta get to my lesson but I'll see you both tomorrow."
Marinette and Alya said goodbye to Kaitlyn and headed inside the band room to Wayzz's office. Luckily, he was inside just ending a conversation with another student. He directed his attention to the two and smiled expectantly.
"Hello girls, here about the results I presume?"
"Yes we are, you can imagine I have questions about my future partner."
"Ah yes Adrien, don't you worry just have a seat and I'll explain the situation."
They did as Wayzz had instructed, he adjusted his glasses and began.
"Adrien is transferring here from a neighboring high school, he will be a senior just like you two so getting to know him will be easy."
"But why didn't I see him at the tryouts? I'm pretty sure I would have been able to point out an unfamiliar face."
Wayzz smiled as he looked at Marinette. "His schedule made it impossible for him to be there at that time, so we had to set up a personal tryout for him later that evening."
"I see… that definitely makes sense." Marinette's face was still full of worry as she said this and Wayzz could see that. He was quick to reassure her.
"You have nothing to worry about Marinette. We chose him because we could see that you two would work well together. I feel that once you meet him you will see that for yourself."
"But when will I meet him? You did say he's at a different high school currently…"
"That is for the both of you to decide. Now do either of you have any more questions for me?"
"No sir, I think you answered all my questions."
"Good, glad I could clear things up. Now if you'll excuse me I should try to get some work done before I'm bombarded with unhappy students. Have a good day you two."
They left his office and headed for Marinette's place. The bakery was currently busy with it's after school rush so they couldn't say too much to her parents besides a quick greeting. They then made their way upstairs to Marinette's room.
Practically collapsing onto her bed, she turns her head to look at Alya.
"Alya, what am I going to do? I know Wayzz said not to worry about it but I can't help it. I don't even know this guy and I'm supposed to work with him."
"I would be stressed too girl, but think about it this way. Old Fu and the rest of the team who help out chose you two, so if anything, you'll make an amazing team."
They decided to drop the subject for now to focus on homework. It took less than an hour to finish since they were near the end of the school year. A while after they had finished Marinette's phone buzzed. She looks to find a message from Kaitlyn.
Kate: Hey are you at your place?
Puzzled at this, she sent a quick reply.
Mari: Yeah, what's up?
It didn't take too long to get a response.
Kate: Perfect, I've got some information for you, I'll be in the bakery in about 5
Mari: Sounds good, we'll head down.
Marinette told Alya what was going on and they headed downstairs to wait for Kaitlyn. The rush from earlier had ended so that would make it easier to hear whatever the girl had to say.
A few minutes later they saw Kaitlyn rush to the door. She still had her trumpet case which meant she hadn't been home yet. Obviously whatever news she had would be important.
She made her way to the seated pair and sat down herself and as she did she started speaking.
"So, I figured out where I heard Adrien's name before."
Marinette and Alya lean in, already intrigued on what she had said.
"Really? What do you know?"
"Turns out we have the same private teacher; his time is actually right after mine so I was able to meet him."
Marinette's eyes widened at this. "What's he like?"
Kaitlyn smiled as she looked at Marinette.
"Well for one, he's cute so you've got that to look forward to. Don't worry though I'll let you have him." She winked when she said this.
Alya looked at Kaitlyn mischievously. "I can see why you would say that. Especially since you have your eyes on that trombone player, he's going to be the other Brass Captain right? Gives you plenty of time to be together."
The girl turns red at this, quickly stammering out a response.
"I uh…. I mean….. I don't know what you're talking about…. Thomas is just a good childhood friend that's all…"
"Suuuurre Katie, you keep telling yourself that. Can't deny the obvious."
"ANYWAYS back to Adrien since that's why I'm here. I can definitely see why they chose him to be your partner. It's like you two were made for each other."
"Kind of like how you and Thomas are made for each other."
"Shut up Alya! I told you to drop it!" Kaitlyn's face was pure scarlet as she buried her head in her hands in embarrassment.
Marinette rolled her eyes at the two. "Yeah I seriously doubt that we would be made for each other. Anyways I feel like we should probably plan a sort of leadership meeting so we can discuss the plan for the season."
Looking back to Marinette the other two girls nodded. Kaitlyn pulls out her phone as she is talking.
"Yeah, you're right, I can let Adrien know if you want, he actually gave me his number for that purpose."
"Perfect, let's try for Saturday then, I'll let you communicate with him for now and I will let the others know."
The girls got to work on contacting the other leadership. No matter how nervous Marinette was to meet her new partner, she was still excited for whatever the marching season brought.
*Boop*
There we go, my plan for the next chapter is for it to be shorter and Adrien's POV but we'll see if that actually happens, will probably have another chapter of this out this weekend. Not gonna lie I love seeing the "This one time at Band Camp" stories in the reviews so keep them coming! Now as promised here's the list of leadership (And instrumentation in parentheses). Captains will act as Section Leaders for their given instruments for this story while having additional leadership roles.
Drum Majors: Marinette (Flute), Adrien (Trumpet)
Brass Captains: Kaitlyn (Trumpet), Thomas (Trombone)
Woodwind Captains: Sabrina (Clarinet), Max (Saxophone)
Percussion Captains: Nino (Snare), Juleka (Pit)
Colorguard Captain: Rose
Section Leaders: Alya (Flute/Piccolo), Nathaniel (Sousaphone), Kim (Mellophones)
Did I forget any instruments? Let me know and I will fix it in absolute shame since I was a part of the band! I was thinking about having Lila be the Flute Section Leader but for one, she doesn't seem like she would be a good leader. And two, I think it would be better to have the true Volpina be the head Flute. I HONESTLY don't know if I have it in my heart to have Chloe in the band but she will still be in the story. I have one idea I can do but let me know your thoughts on that.
