Come and eat, talk and mingle!

Paige is backstage fiddling with the red dress (http://www.angelfire.com/tv2/charmedsite0/pages/paige.html) she's wearing and looking generally nervous

Sawyer isn't that dressed up, he has on a gray beanie with a matching gray shirt and some jeans; his drum sticks as sticking out of his back pocket.

Paige smirks, "Guess we're relying on me for the glamour then huh, although I don't s'pose drummers really need to dress up do they, being behind a drum kit and everything!"

"Hey, Hey, Hey. Drummers can have their own look, you know." he protested slightly as he wrapped an arm around her, "You look great, by the way." planting a kiss to her neck.

Paige smiles, "I didn't say you didn't look good," she kisses him gently on the cheek "and thank you, Ted said we'd be graded on performance, so I figured I'd make an effort."

He messes with the beanie on his head, "You look amazing when you take up an effort." he grins dork-like at her.

She mock pouts, "you mean I don't always look amazing?" she asks trying not to smile

He mocks her mock pout, "You always look amazing, darlin'." he then sticks his tongue out at her as he twirls a drum stick in between his fingers.

She grins, "That's more like it!"

Ted looked around for Lane, couldn't find her, and so left her Secret Santa present (http://store.drumbum.com/media/christmas-brass-drumset.jpg) on the table to the side with her name on it in big print. The following note was attached:

"A little drumset for your Crissmass Tree. Maybe when the tree shimmies it will play for you! Good luck tonight!" -- Your Secret Santa

Lane rushes in at the last minute and almost misses the gift on the table. "Aww!" she says, before remembering she doesn't have time for aww-ing, so she grabs it and carefully throws it in her music bag.

Callisto did not look the least bit stressed, or worried.

Just like she really, really wanted to hit something.

Murphy's going over a couple of the chord changes one last time while Connor warms up his voice.

If they're both keeping an eye out for the last member of their group as well, what of it?

[OOC: Connor-mun is currently out of town (http://www.livejournal.com/users/teen_twin/2612.html) and will not be back online until Wed. at the earliest. She gave me godding rights as needed, along with access to her journal which I can use in the main performance.]

Lily, Lilly and Lane - you're on.

Lane sits at the drum set looking to her bandmates for the starting cue.

Lily is standing ready at the keyboards, and boy is she nervous!

Lilly is PUMPED.

She has no idea what she's doing, of course, but she's DAMN excited to do it.

Ted looks around at the others, waits for Lane to count them in, and then starts playing.

Paige, Sawyer and Lindsey - you're on.

Paige sticks in the backing CD and picks up the microphone to start singing.

"In your room
Where time stands still
Or moves at your will
Will you let the morning come soon
Or will you leave me lying here
In your favourite darkness
Your favourite half-light
Your favourite consciousness
Your favourite slave

Maia sat with her slice of pie and a glass of punch screaming her head off for Paige's performance.

Paige tried to get too distracted by Maia, she cast Saywer a sultry look as she continued her song

"In your room
Where souls disappear
Only you exist here
Will you lead me to your armchair
Or leave me lying here
Your favourite innocence
Your favourite prize
Your favourite smile
Your favourite slave."

She started to dance a little as the music picked up

Maia grinned "Shake it Paige!!!"

The drums are the most retarded instrument on the planet but he plays them pretty skillfully along with her singing. God, she's hot.

Paige tries to ignore Maia as best she can, she's trying to be sultry here damn it!

As she continues to dances she moves her way next to Sawyer

"I'm hanging on your words
Living on your breath
Feeling with your skin
Will I always be here"

Shiver. Groan inwardly. He bows his head as he flushes slightly, tapping the drums slowly as she edges closer to him.

She grins a little and heads back towards the front of the stage for the last verse.

In your room
Your burning eyes
Cause flames to arise
Will you let the fire die down soon
Or will I always be here
Your favourite passion
Your favourite game
Your favourite mirror
Your favourite slave

Lindsey is totally rocking out with his guitar while Paige sings.

Connor, Murphy, Sonia and Callisto - you're on. Play those bongos, Cal!

While waiting for the starting cue, Callisto decided to break the tension by doing a quick bongo solo.

It may have sounded remarkably similar to what Crichton played at the pageant last week, only far mellower.

At the cue from Murphy, Sonia gave a small nod and lifted her violin to her shoulder, drawing the bow across the strings in the opening passage. Lifting her eyes from the sheet music, she looked over to Callisto, waiting for her to join in.

Spinning the drumsticks, Callisto laid out the beat, as Murphy started playing as well.

"I've been so alone for so long
Forgotten by the world
Forgotten to myself
Your effervescent eyes have awakened me
And brushed the dust away
But I knew you'd never stay

So I memorized the color of your eyes as I lost myself inside you
And I memorized the way our legs entwined as I drifted off beside you

I miss
God I miss
Waking up beside you"

The music gaining intensity a second before he starts the next verse.

"At night I cling to you, I'm so afraid
Afraid the day will come
And I'll wake and find you gone
But you promised that you'd not abandon me
And kissed my fears away
But I woke up to that day

But I'd memorized the way our eyes
would meet reflected in the bathroom mirror
And I memorized your naked silhouette as you slowly brushed your hair
I miss
God I miss
Waking up beside you"

Sounding good, looking good from Murphy's point of view.

He spares a half second regret they hadn't set up a tape before the final verse starts up.

"I've been so alone for so long
I forgot how much it hurts
To wake up so alone

But I memorized how warm your body felt
as you lay half asleep beside me
And I memorized the way the sunlight
filled the room and played upon your body

I miss
God I miss
Waking up beside you
I miss
God I miss
Waking up beside you."

Cheer, heckle, whatever tickles your fancy.

Vala grabs a seat, ready to take in some serious Earth culture.

John comes in and takes a seat behind Vala.

"Hey Thumper."

"Hey, John-Boy, what's up?"

If it's needed.

Just as a curiosity, open for townies or no? Not sure how many townies are around right now but thought I'd ask.

If we're going with the idea of allowing townies on campus for events, it certainly is!

yay! *sneaks in to mock Crichton*
