It was a warm Saturday morning at UCLA and Jacob was riding
his bike to the local coffee shop to study, like he does every Saturday so that
he can get his homework done early. As he was riding he’s bike he began to zone
out. He often had problems with zoning out because he constantly had things on
his mind. He was very observant and often thought about some things maybe a
little too hard. As he was thinking about things and zoning out he didn’t notice
a car that had pulled out in front of him. He was going so fast that he barely
had time to get out of the way but by some miracle he was able to miss the car,
but he wasn’t out of danger. He had swerved right into a pole. Feeling very embarrassed
and in quite an immense amount of pain, he slowly stood up to look at the
stupid pole that had knocked him off his bike. As Jacob looked at the pole he
noticed a brightly colored poster that was attached to it. It read BATTLE OF
THE BANDS. As soon as had bestowed his eyes upon this sign,
Jacob knew that he had this pole for a reason. He had to enter the contest.
There is something you should know about Jacob, he is a good guitar player but never really performs for anyone else but he really wants to. When he saw the sign he knew that this is what he was meant to do. The only problem was that he didn't have a band, he hasn't even thought about making a band because he thought that it would take away too much of his already precious time.
When he eventually got to the coffee shop he sat down and took out his laptop, but did not study like he usually did. Instead he went onto social media sights and began to look for possible friends that he could have in his band. He looked through quite a few friends when suddenly he had come across the friend that he knew was perfect for the job. His name was Joey, Joey Buelow. Joey had been one of Jacob's friends in high school who had wanted to play the drums, so he contacted Joey and asked him about drumming in a band together. Joey was very interested and thought that they should meet in person. So Jacob and Joey decided that they would meet back in their home town at the well know restaurant Orcutt Burger.
At Orcutt Burger, the two friends from high school caught up with each other. Both mainly asking questions about the colleges that both of them were now attending. After the casual banter back and forth they began to get to the real reason for the meeting. The band. After some discussion Joey finally decided that he would join Jacob in creating a band that had potential for greatness. It all sounded great but there was a problem. How were they gonna get the money for a drum set? After this question came up things seemed to get a little bit more difficult. They tried brainstorming ideas for awhile until they finally found that they might be able to make the money by selling old things that they no longer needed.
Eventually the two boys made enough money to buy a drum set. As soon as the drums were purchased they knew that they had to get practicing immediately if they even wanted to have a shot at winning the competition. So they practiced for at least a few hours everyday until the day of the competition.
The day of the competition was very stressful for the two young boys who were dreaming about being an awesome bad the played some awesome music. So Joey and Jacob began to setup up for there performance that could potentially be amazing and they could actually win some money if they did well so they were trying to pump themselves up and give it their all. When they got on the stage they felt confident and were ready to play. When they began to play immediately the crowd reacted and began to move with the beat and cheer. At this instant Jacob knew that they were going to win the contest because he hadn't seen the fans react like that with any of the other bands.
After they're song the contest was over and they were going to announce the winners. The boys waited backstage feeling very confident that their name was going to be called. After a moment that seemed to last forever the winner was revealed and they had not won the contest. Jacob, Joey, and the fans were in shock but they still congratulated the winners.
As they packed up and got ready to leave a man in a suit approached Jacob. He said, "I think you two have what it takes to make it big and I would like to offer you a record deal." After hearing this Jacob was stunned and didn't know what to say. They had only played one song and this guy already wanted to sign them. After saying yes instantly Jacob told Joey who also became overwhelmed with excitement. It looked as though they just might make it in the music industry.
