Oh dear, well, my characters are all in a circus so nothing good.

Oh god… it would be one of those bands where they always break the instruments at the end… they would be called the ‘Don’t you dare record this or I will shove your ticket up your anus.’ (Or something like that) The drummer would be my OC that has a very bad temper, she would be the one to accidentally chuck her drum sticks out of her hands, probably knocking someone out(Riley). It would have a electric piano in the band, it would be played by the precious weak cinnamon roll (named Kayla) who would be the only one not to break the instrument. Two guitar players, one is the most normal one that was repeatedly asked to join, and was sold on it when they mentioned free food (Lol Sophie), the other guitar player would be the one to start the breaking of the instruments for over excitement and passion (Monty). The only singer wouldn’t actually know how to sing so they scream into the microphone, despite truthfully being a very calm individual(Crystal). They would have a manager that is money crazy, and takes any opportunity to make money while roasting everyone in the band. (Lizzie) and well, that’s what I think would happen, but I’m leaving out the fact that some of them don’t like each other…

lol but it’s true. All of them would actually be insane enough to start one, they would probably get stopped from performing from how many people were injured by flying drum sticks XD

I just came up with the best idea for my character's band name: "Circus Freaks." They got called it by an asshole and used it as their name becuase they're petty.

@A. Alice Robins

My band would be as follows,
Calais: would probably be the drums, and could actually can play. Dont get him exited or bad things happens
Piper: plays the electric piano, great harmonies, diva moments
Aubree: writes the songs, lead singer, can play electric and acoustic guitar
Alex: can shred and it's beautiful
Mia: she is a backup singer, hypes up the crowd
Lexie: plays violin for backup, ukulele and can seriously sing. She is the other lead sing
Milo: the manager, and is good at it
Nobody listens to them because the gang is good at dissing famous people without the famous people noticing. They have several big hits, but stay pretty well known after.

Imagine seeing that headline in the papers:
Local band has to stop touring- sued for injuring audience members with drum sticks
or something like that

Lol. The description: Band member Riley of (very long name) has repeatedly chucked drum sticks at the audience! No one knows if it was intentional or not, probably.

Lol I could probably write up interviews the band members had…

I’ll write it tomorrow when I have some more time in my hands.

Okay, so I feel like my characters in a band would be a disaster. They could probably figure out how to do the music part, and they're good friends, but still.

I imagine they'd call themselves something really edgy with the word "dragon" in the title. They'd be a really hardcore rock band and be obsessed with visual aesthetics and meaningful, deep lyrics.

Lead singer would certainly be Pollux, because he can actually sing, and he has a really cool aesthetic. He's not even a group "leader," but he'd be an excellent band leader. He'd probably pick up guitar for the aesthetic and learn enough chords to play simpler ones over the music, usually doing rhythm guitar. He writes the music (usually not lyrics, mostly tune).
Septima can sing too. They thought about making her lead singer because she's edgy and beautiful, and can carry a tune alright, but when they were first starting out, her music was so explicit that they had to rethink… After all, they wanted to appeal to a wider audience. They decided her image was perfect for bassist, and they decided to let her sing, but only occasionally, or on harmony.
Aurelius becomes drummer, based solely on the fact that he's really dramatic and has nice hair to flip while he's drumming. He's got an okay sense of rhythm and only sometimes gets yelled at by Pollux for misleading the band.
Taurin actually learned how to play the acoustic guitar when he was younger (or at least he would have in modern days). He plays lead guitar and has learned how to do some sick guitar riffs. He is one of the people who manages the band, being the oldest and most responsible.
Ignis would play keyboard. They probably read up on theory long before even touching one, and while a bit mechanical at first, they picked up on it pretty quickly. They also have a wonderful way with words and write song lyrics. They know the most about running a business, so also help manage the band.
Moreau knows nothing about music. He'd just protect them, kind of be their bodyguard. He really enjoys concerts, though!
Fiera would be their main "celebrity" endorsement (she's a princess in the story, so I guess that makes sense). She'd help them with advertising and merch.
Rosalie would design outfits and come up with set and lighting ideas. She is mostly in charge of the aesthetic of the band.

@kittycalyx group

oh i've actually thought about this before!! too many times actually lmao
cam: he plays piano so he'd obviously be on keyboard and maybe do some backup vocals every now and then
li: i can totally imagine her KILLING IT on bass
teddy: he'd be on drums bc he'd want to be in the band but not in the front with too much attention on him (although i think after some time to adjust he could do occasional backup vocals)
aria: a queen as lead guitarist
aquis: i feel like he would be surprisingly good at singing?? also if the lead singer is hot that's better for getting fans amirite kids
pila: she would probably be their manager
gemma: she's super social and friendly so she could do PR
i'm so bad at naming things hhhhh but i think their band name would be something kinda random but cool-sounding
and as for the other five characters they would just be fans ig

@ITryReallyHard

It would end really badly. Half of them would die because they other half would murder them. They're style would be hard to describe as they'd do sappy songs but somehow in a alternative style but people would somehow still like it.
Tanner and Connor would be the only one who could sing and Tanner would write every song. They'd drive the whole group insane because they'd just look at each other with the most lovestruck looks the whole time and everything Tanner wrote would be about how much he adores Connor. Connor is a better singer so would be the lead also he is the most conventionally attractive and has the star quality. Connor would try to keep his performance PG-13 but he'd get too over the top in many performances and everyone else would have to rein him between songs and make him tone it down. Tanner would just stand there awkwardly and would be extremely distracting because he'd just awkwardly sway in the background and intensely stare at Connor.

Jesse would be the drummer and would try to make it as loud as possible during the sappy sections to drown out Tanner's singing. He'd get really bored and try to entertain himself by doing random things. He definitely would have read a book on stage once, a picture book because he hates reading. He wouldn't have that much to do on the drums at certain points so would just be taking selfies in the background every single time, people would yell at him but he'd just flip them off and walk away.

Taylor would be on guitar and literally the most talented one in the group. They'd also do all the choreography for the backing dancers and would try to make the band look good but it wouldn't do much. They'd be the only chill one who wouldn't give a crap about anything, like Connor, Tanner and Jesse being the worst. Everyone would like Taylor because they'd refuse to get involved with anything and be the calmest member of the group plus they have insane star quality.

Liam would just spend the whole time rocking out on the piano. He would ignore everything on stage but not on the same level as Jesse but he'd still just be playing his piano and staring at Jesse being a weirdo. They'd be times when Liam and Jesse would just take selfies on stage and forget to chime in for their parts. Liam would be incredibly loud and would just be the spirit of the group.

Jasmine, Oliver and Harry would be the technical team. Jasmine would start as the manager but everyone would get frustrated with her as she refuses to reprimand Jesse because she loves him. Jasmine would just mangage lighting and costuming instead. Harry and Oliver would takeover as co-managers with Oliver mostly taking the lead but Harry reining him in when he got too agro.

This band would end with a WWIII and Captain America Civil War situation.
