some rules are made with all intentions to break
saturday, 5:49pm. with a bottle of orange soda in his clutches, Shane staggered into the backstage area. With a fake drunken stupor on his face he stumbled around until he got to his keyboard. S-sorry guys, I got a little carried away with the sauce. He said in a sing-songy voice taking the final swing of the orangey goodness.
he was four minutes late to their warm up before they went on stage to perform, not like four minutes was all that late but everyone was already there, instruments in hand. Shane was dubbed the obnoxious joker of the group, and he tried to live up to his title. Though around anyone but his band mates he was cool-composed-and chilled out Shane, when it was band practice or warm up he was...well, the obnoxious joker. So what's good gentlemen? A smile broadened on his face as he adjusted the keyboard to his preferred height setting.
while everyone else tuned their guitars or basses, Shane just fiddled around on the keyboard. Sometimes he wished that he wasn't the only one who could play the keyboard, therefore he wouldn't get stuck with it, and instead he could play a more dignified instrument like the guitar or drums. He didn't really mind in the end, he did get to sing along, but he really was just as good at drums, guitar, and bass as the other guys in the band. Not like he was proud of being the biggest music nerd on the tour, but there was no denying it, the hours and hours of music lessons as a kid payed off. Shane was now a proficient player of seven instruments, if you count harmonica.
there was only thirty minutes or so til show time. Shane was used to the energy hype he got before hand and to release some of it he began to play his own mixture of furelise and claire de lune. Some how he managed to mesh the two very different classical songs into an upbeat melody. Every once in a while he looked up to check on his band members, whenever they were ready they would go over the set list and maybe do some clips of their most popular songs.
