The roles of Zack, Lawrence, Freddie, Katie are onstage musicians.  However, this is not a requirement but please note this on audition form if you play one of their instruments.

SUMMER HATHAWAY
Confident and outspoken, Summer is the ideal manager for the band. Ambitious and very clever, she hopes that winning Battle of the Bands will look good on her college application.

ZACK MOONEYHAM
ONSTAGE GUITAR

Zack is the band’s lead guitarist and also a talented songwriter. He desperately wants to impress his father, who’s usually too busy with work to take an interest in his family.

TOMIKA
New girl Tomika is struggling to fit in at Horace Green. She conquers her shyness to reveal her phenomenal singing ability, and becomes a lead vocalist alongside Dewey in the band.

LAWRENCE
Onstage Piano/Keyboard

Awkward and lacking in confidence, Lawrence is hesitant to attempt something “cool”, like joining a band, but he soon turns out to be a fantastic keyboardist.

 

FREDDIE HAMILTON
Onstage Drums

Freddie loves a bit of rowdiness and noise, making him a great drummer. His own father doesn’t see his ability, constantly belittling his son.

KATIE

Onstage Bass

Quiet and serious.  Katie already played the cello, but switched to bass at Dewey’s suggestion to fill out the band

MARCY & SHONELLE
Quiet girls with angelic voices, Marcy and Shonelle are the band’s backup singers and dancers.

MASON
Mason is a total whiz with technology, and creates special effects and fantastic lighting designs for the band’s performances using his laptop.

BILLY
Flamboyant and artistic, Billy has a passionate interest in fashion, even though his father wants him to be a footballer like the other men in his family. He designs the band’s costumes.

JAMES
James is tough and reliable, making him a good security guard for the band. Mostly, he keeps an eye out for anyone coming while the band is secretly rehearsing!

SOPHIE & MADISON
Sophie and Madison are technically the band’s roadies, but also serve as backup dancers during performances.
