SEEKING ALL PRINCIPAL YOUTH ROLES

SINGERS

The following roles require strong singing and acting abilities. Playing a musical instrument is NOT required.

TOMIKA WILLIAMS – LEAD VOCALIST
Vocal Range: A3–G5

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.

SUMMER HATHAWAY – BAND MANAGER
Vocal Range: A3–D5

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.

MARCY & SHONELLE – BACKUP VOCALISTS
Vocal Range: A3–G5

Quiet girls with angelic voices, Marcy and Shonelle are the band's backup singers and dancers.

BILLY SANFORD

Vocal Range: A3-D5

Billy takes full control of the band's aesthetic, designing their stage outfits and leaning into "Glitter Rock, Glam, and Fabulous" styles before settling on their iconic, altered school uniforms. He also acts as a roadie during the final concert.

SINGER/INSTRUMENTALISTS

The following roles require performers who can play their respective instruments live on stage, as well as sing and act.

ZACK MOONEYHAM – GUITAR
Tenor; Vocal Range: A3–D5

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

LAWRENCE – KEYBOARD
Vocal Range: A3–D#5

Lawrence is an unconfident boy who initially believes he isn't cool enough to be part of the band. With Dewey's encouragement, he discovers that he's an amazing musician.

KATIE – BASS
Vocal Range: A3–D#5

Katie is a quiet, serious girl who takes her music and the band very seriously. Although she initially plays cello at school, she quickly discovers her talent for bass guitar.

FREDDY HAMILTON – DRUMS
Tenor; Vocal Range: A3–D5

Freddy is an energetic, rambunctious boy who loves making noise and playing the drums. Although others underestimate him, Freddy knows he's got something special.
