New Recruits(Transcript)

Today, 2 people from school started submitting auditions for the choir and Reece already had them. So excitedly, he went to the choir room where everyone is reading their sheet music.

Reece: Guys, guess what.

Blake: What's going on, Reece?

Brad: Yeah, you look excited.

Reece: There are people wanting to audition for the choir, basically all 12-year-old Year 7s who are new here and a 17-year-old.

Shawn: Hope it's not Shannon again.

Reece: Of course it's not Shannon, it is someone else and he's a boy.

Blake: A boy?

Michael: But I was looking forward for adding another girl to this choir.

George: Aww, but isn't Zoe enough?

Zoe: Yeah, I'm kinda getting used to being the only girl here. Also because I am a tomboy growing up with a lot of boys in the house.

Brad: That's right.

Reece: Now let's go for lunch and then, we will hold the auditions. Blake, Troy, Brad, George, Zoe and I will be the judges.

Blake, Troy, Brad, George and Zoe: Yeah!

Reece: Now c'mon.

The choir kids went downstairs to the cafeteria for lunch. After the main 6 ate, they went to the stage and Reece went on stage to announce the auditions.

Reece: Students and teachers, may I have your attention please? So for this lunch time, we are going to hold auditions for the following students. You'll get to know them once they come on stage so please give a round of applause.

Everyone gave a round of applause as the first contestant came on stage. Zoe immediately recognised him because he was in her old school before.

Zoe: Guys, that's the kid who used to be in my school.

Blake: Really?

Zoe: Yes.

George: Were you dating before?

Zoe: No, we were just friends.

Reece: Okay, please introduce yourself.

Aiden: Hi, my name is Aiden Cowell, I'm 12-years-old, I'm from London and I study in Year 7.

Reece: What's your voice type?

Aiden: I don't know, it's kinda high because I didn't hit puberty yet.

George: Are you familiar with the girl sitting next to me?

Aiden: Yes, that's Zoe and she was my best friend. Hello Zoe.

Zoe: Hi Aiden. George, chill out, we aren't dating, plus you are my boyfriend. It will never change between us until we go to university.

George: I hope so.

Reece: Ignore them, anyways please sing a song and the rest of the choir behind you will back you up.

Aiden: Okay, I'm getting a little nervous here.

Shawn: It's okay, we'll help you.

Harvey: Thank you.

Then Reece came on stage.

Reece: Thank you everyone for coming, I hope you can enjoy the rest of your lunch break.

After that, Aiden and Harvey are now part of the New Hope Choir. After lunch, the New Hope Choir met up with the theatre kids in the auditorium.

Jenny: Hey Reece, you alright?

Reece: I'm good.

Jenny: Who did you recruit?

Reece: After an audition, we recruited 2 new members. Everyone, this is Harvey Leigh Cantwell, a 17-year-old from Kent and this is Aiden Cowell, a 12-year-old from London.

Harvey and Aiden: Hi.

Jenny: That's good, we also recruited 12-year-olds. This is Tanya Leong, a Chinese-Malaysian girl from Kuala Lumpur, another one is Kenneth Dmitry Wang, a Chinese-Russian boy from Moscow.

Tanya and Ken: Hi.

Ken: You can call me Ken.

Brad: Our brother is also called Kenneth, he's in primary school.

Tanya: Really? Cool.

Shawn: So what are we up to?

Jenny: We're just happy that Annika will be suspended for a while. That way, she won't mess with us ever again.

Harvey: Who's Annika?

Zoe: She's a total mean girl and she always judges us for what we do. Also she bullies us because I joined the choir and man she hates me.

Aiden: Hates you? For what?

Zoe: Because she auditioned for Matilda the Musical in school when we were younger and I got the role and not her so she hated me for that. Also because I won a Frisbee match against her last year so she hated me more and more. She also hates me because of my attitude, how boyish am I rather than some girly girl.

Harvey: No wonder why she doesn't like other girls in the choir.

Brad: She's like the only female warrior in an all-males army. Also there is another reason why Annika hates her, Zoe is too smart-mouthed for her.

Aiden: I mean, who doesn't like smart-mouths?

Zoe: I'm glad she's suspended, if she isn't, we would be insulted double time.

Jenny: Which reminds me, we can perform a song to celebrate our new recruits.

Reece: That would be lovely, New Hope Choir, Theatre Troupe, go on stage right now. Let's perform a song to celebrate our new members.

Song: We Are Young by fun. and Janelle Monae

Zoe: #Give me a second, I, I need to get my story straight #My friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State #My lover, he is waiting for me just across the bar #My seat's been taken by some sunglasses asking 'bout a scar, and...#

George: #I know I gave it to you months ago #I know you're trying to forget #But between the drinks and subtle things, the holes in my apologies #You know, I'm trying hard to take it back#

Harvey: #So if by the time the bar closes #And you feel like falling down #I'll carry you home...#

All: #Tonight, we are young #So let's set the world on fire #We can burn brighter than the sun #Tonight, we are young #So let's set the world on fire #We can burn brighter than the sun#

Kandace: #Now know that I'm not #All that you got #I guess that I, I just thought #Maybe we could find new ways to fall apart#

Tanya: #But our friends are back #So let's raise a cup #Cause I found someone to carry me home#

All: #Tonight, we are young #So let's set the world on fire #We can burn brighter than the sun#

Emily: #Whoa!#

All# Tonight, we are young #So let's set the world on fire #We can burn brighter #Than the sun #Na na na na na na na na #Na na na na na na na na #Na na na na na na na na #Na na na na na na na na#

Danna: #Carry me home tonight #Just carry me home tonight  #Carry me home tonight  #Just carry me home tonight#

Aiden: #The moon is on my side #I have no reason to run #So will someone come and carry me home tonight?#

Molly: #The angels never arrived #But I can hear the choir #So will someone come and carry me home...?#

Jenny: #Tonight, we are young#

Reece: #So let's set the world on fire #We can burn brighter than the sun#

Alicia: #We are young, yeah#

All: #Tonight, we are young #So let's set the world on fire #We can burn brighter #Than the sun#

Brad: #So if by the time the bar closes #And you feel like falling down #I'll carry you home tonight#

Harvey: I'm glad to be in this choir.

Aiden: Yeah, me too.

Reece: Let's head home, we are going to show you around Georgetown.

Harvey and Aiden followed the main 6 to the Georgetown neighborhood.

Blake: So where do you guys live?

Harvey: I live next to George.

George: Really?

Harvey: Yes.

Aiden: And I live next to Reece.

Harvey: So does everyone in St. John Secondary School live in this neighborhood?

Zoe: Not all of them, some live in London while others live in Birmingham. This town just lives in between.

Troy: Can we go home now? Mum needs me home.

Reece: Then let's go, we can meet up tomorrow.

Everyone: (laughs)
