Why are you interested in Frog Choir?
Music has always been a part of Serena's life. Her Aunt Elizabeth has been giving her piano lessons since she was five-years-old. Serena also enjoys singing and is relatively decent at it. She's never sung in a choir before but would like to try something new. Plus, she thinks the frogs are adorable.

Auditions are UP!

Name your character prefers: Taylor Haywood
Voice Type: Soprano
Encyclopedia: Here
Discord: I don't actually have one can I still be part of this?

Why are you interested in Frog Choir?
Taylor had always been happiest when singing but when her mother passed away, her father made it a rule that she couldn't. Now that she is here and away from his strictness, she hope to find friends that enjoy singing just as much as she does and hopes to expand her ability to sing well.

Name: Piérre Marchonné
Voice Type: Countertenor, exploring high baritone
Ency: Clickie!
Discord: Leoniérre#8713

Why is He Interested?
Piérre has a rather large interest in singing and music. He is the cliche theatre boy and musical kid. Hard to imagine him being him without a little bit too music sprinkled in, and with frogs as a duet partner? Heck yes! He is naturally loud, but also has the ability to inspire friends with his music, a talent he hopes to make good on in his adult life as a part time musician or performer.

Update
Roster up to date. If you haven't included a 200 word "sample audition" in your application, you can still edit that in, or join the Ribbitting Auditions thread! There's plenty of time before it closes and we move on to the next activity.

Discord is not required to join this club, the chat is totally optional and mostly used for posting choir updates or group development surveys (and amphibian memes)

Name: Aurora Ranvier
Voice Type: Soprano?
Ency: hereee
Discord: Allethd#6336

Why is she interested
Aurora grew up with the art influence from her mother, and she has a massive appreciation for art. The one thing she always wants to try out is to sing. Although she knows very well she doesn't have the talent to have a good voice at such a young age, she is okay i mean, she's not tone deaf though .
Also, it is not every day you see a choir with frogs on their hands, at least not in a muggle world.

The Fall Ball is right around the corner, and this year, the Frog Choir has been invited to perform! Pericles is hosting practice in the Rehearsal Room, with some interesting items of note: the frog bins are waiting for their partners atop tables, along with their performance cushions, teeny tiny hats, and a bowl of apples. Half of the room is hidden in a great big cloud. What's all that about...?

If you'd like to join the group- whether you want to perform in the Fall Ball or not- you can post in this scene to fulfill the "200 word sample post" requirement. If you are already a member, you don't have to join this practice to get in on the Ball performance. Joining our Discord isn't mandatory either, but is still recommended, as that's where we discuss aspects of our performance, hold votes, claim lines, and get live updates!

If you want to sing in the Fall Ball performance, please either owl me or react to the Discord group ping. Some songs will feature solo parts, I need our numbers!

Performers (Will be updated as I get more replies/reactions)
Pericles Dralt, Santario Martin, Serena Bowen, Rose Moon, Starlee Kennedy, Henry Knight, Koko Riddle

Name: Juniper Kelly, but it's easier to call her June.
Role: Handler
Frog: not needed for this role (sorry, Ribbit Browney Jr.)
Voice Type: not needed
ency: if you need it

Why are you interested in joining the Frog Choir?
Juniper loves amphibians so much. She owns many books on them at home and finds them adorable.

Please write an example post (200 words) of your character auditioning.
Juniper looked around her. Most people were here to sing like Ariana Grande or whatever, and show off their scary high vocal range. But not Juniper. Her singing was not good, but it wasn't terrible. It just... was. It was not music to anyone's ears, and she disliked singing anyway. No, she was here to be a handler. This position meant she got to work with frogs, how awesome was that? It was a dream come true, she loved those guys. Those cute faces, everything.

She had her hair tied back, and she wore a pink shirt and white jeans. In her hand was her own toad, Ribbit Browney Jr. She knew she didn't need him, but she wanted to bring him to show off her knowledge and love. "Hi, I'm Juniper, but you can just call me June. Like the month." She said, once it was her turn. "So... I wanna be a handler... because I love amphibians. They're... adorable and amazing. But, um... I have some facts I read when I was younger I find cool about them." She said. She held out her hands, which were wet. "As you can see, I have wet my hands. This is because I will be talking about my toad, and holding him. Frogs have thin skin that can't dry out, so you have to make sure your hands are wet when you hold them. The reason why their skin is so thin is so they can breathe." She said, matter-of-factly. She held her toad. "Now, Ribbit here has his own encloser that has a handle to be carried around. He has wood in there, moss, plants and a few rocks. However, frogs or toads will swallow small things so the rocks have to be big." She said.

"Speaking of swallowing, did you know frogs and toads swallow their food whole? So, you have to make sure you don't give them too big amounts of food." She said. "So... yeah. I guess I just think I would be really good as a handler, and yeah." She said, awkwardly.

Name: Della Barfield
Role: Handler
Encyclopedia: Here!
Why are you interested in joining the Frog Choir?
Della loves animals! She used to catch frogs all the time in her backyard. She is excited to take of the singing frogs.

Please write an example post (200 words) of your character auditioning.

Della surprised herself. She had signed up for the school choir auditions. She would have never done this at home—standing on stage in front of other people and singing? That wasn't her scene. But Hogwarts had a choir unlike any of the muggle ones she knew about. Hogwarts's choir had singing frogs, and it needed people to hold and care for those frogs.

So here Della was, at a choir audition, with an essay she had written about frogs. She walked into the rehearsal room and smiled at the third-year director Pericles Dralt. "Hi, my name is Della Barfield. And I'm auditioning to be a frog handler. I love frogs. And I know I will take great care of Hogwarts's frogs."

Della took a deep breath—she hoped her nerdiness would be an asset in this situation. She pulled her sketchbook out of her bag. She had drawn various species of frogs at many different angles, and even included a few toads, too, to note the differences. She unrolled her essay and begin to lecture about the eating habits, sleeping habits, breeding habits, swimming habits, and really any other habits of frogs she found interesting. She included a few paragraphs about the differences between frogs and toads. She even described how to care for young tadpoles and potential strategies to breed them into talented singers. At the end, she awkwardly bowed and hoped Pericles hadn't fallen asleep.

Name: Serena J. Towers
Role: Handler

Why are you interested in joining the Frog Choir?
"Ever since I was little, I really liked the adorable little frogs and toads that you see in the garden. My mother and brother was never a fan but I loved them so I would move them out of the way and make sure they were safe to prevent them getting hurt when someone accidentally stepped on them or worse, my brother decided to be a jerk. I considered getting a toad when I was getting a pet for here but ended up getting a rat because it was adorable. But toads, rats, lizards, all of those pets that seem unloved by other students are among my favourite. They are so frickin' cute, I can't. I'm not much of a singer myself but I like looking after the creatures, so I figured I could help out as a handler or something? I think it would be a fun way for me to care for them, whilst being part of a really cool group. I mean, let's be fair, who doesn't want to listen to a frog choir? Frogs are fantastic and music is great - and dancing is super fun - so why not just combine them all?"

I wrote it in here but uh, I don't know if I was meant to. (I'm easily confused). Please let me know if I need to post it here instead x]
