Sourei High Concert Band. I thought a powerhouse school would be a total Spartan boot camp, but...?
About
I made this on a total whim. It's mostly for personal use, but feel free to use it if you like! It's a concert band AU!
Sourei High School Concert Band has made its name known nationally for generations.
With over sixty members, it is a legendary powerhouse with a history of fifty-eight consecutive national appearances and continuous Gold awards.
While the members, faculty, and students get along well, they are dead serious when it comes to music. Naturally, the training is grueling, exhausting both mind and body.
Fighting over solo parts is a daily occurrence. As competitions approach, the tension reaches a fever pitch regardless of seniority, as everyone vies for a spot in the competition lineup.
It is said that every year, several members quit, unable to withstand the suffocating pressure.
───And you have just joined this concert band.
