International Regionals Script

The Dixie Singers stand in front of the Country Music Hall of Fame.

Trista: It’s so awesome we’re having Regionals here! It’s the home of country music!

Drew: Yeah, some of us aren’t huge country music fans.

Ellie: How can you be American and say that?

Drew: I just don’t see the appeal. It’s all “my girl, my dog, my truck, beer, my truck, my girl, my man, my truck, my girl, my man, America rocks” over and over again!

Ms. Handel: Well it’s a good thing the theme for Regionals isn’t country music! Besides, songs by international artists is a category that gives us a lot more freedom.

Danielle: Wanna bet one of the teams is going to sing “Call Me Maybe”?

Connor: Oh, gosh, what if they sing a Justin Bieber song, just since he’s from Canada?

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Miles: Do you think one of the glee clubs will sing One Direction? That would be awful.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Mr. Dominguez: Okay, okay, settle down. The other glee clubs can sing whatever they please as long as it fits the theme.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Danielle: Yeah, but Ed Sheeran, Icona Pop, and Gotye are way better than those artists.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Ms. Handel: They may be, but that doesn’t change the fact that they’re from other countries and fit the requirements for Regionals. Just forget about it, and let’s go enjoy the Country Music Hall of Fame!

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Ellie and Devin tiptoe through the back halls of a high school. Strains of music can be heard from onstage.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Devin: *whispers* Who’s practicing already? Isn’t that against the rules?

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Ellie: Yeah, I think so. I mean, I guess if it’s the host school, it’s not technically.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">They scurry backstage and peek around the curtains. Six girls and six guys are practicing with instruments. Five of the guys are only seen by the backs of their heads.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Devin: Looks like Miles is going to be cranky. That sounds like a One Direction song.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Ellie: Miles can go jump in the lake for all I care. One Direction isn’t that bad. And this sounds like one of their better songs.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Devin: We’d better go before they catch us.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Ellie: All I can say is I think the competition is going to be awfully stiff.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center">'''<span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height: 115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">THE MUSIC BOOK '''

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The Dixie Singers are gathered in a practice room. They’re wearing work-out clothes and dress shoes.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Danielle: *checking out her reflection in the mirror* We look ridiculous.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Paige: *laughs* What do you mean ridiculous? This is all the height of fashion.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Mr. Dominguez: All right, let’s get started! We want to run through the choreography of “I Love It” a couple times just to make sure you all have it down pat. Then we’ll run through the choreography on “Somebody That I Used to Know.”

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Ms. Handel: So guys, move off to the side since this is the girls’ number.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The guys shuffle off the dance floor, and Mr. Dominguez starts the music.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Ms. Handel: Jessica, they’re all yours.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Jessica: What?

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Ms. Handel: You came up with the choreography. You might as well teach it to them.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Jessica, wide-eyed, moves to the front of the room. Mr. Dominguez starts the song over again.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Jessica: Basically, use lots of sass in your movements and it’ll look like you know what you’re doing, even if you’re forgotten. Now follow me.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">She starts going through the movements and the other Dixie Singer girls try to mimic her. Jessica turns around to watch them at one point.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Jessica: Okay, wow, you guys are a mess.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Ellie: That’s because we’re not dancers.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Jessica: Let’s go through it at half-speed.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">She runs through the choreography again, and this time, the other girls do a bit better.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Jessica: Can we try running through this with vocals?

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Ms. Handel: Sure. But focus on the dancing first. We’ll tie up all loose ends during the final dress rehearsal.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">She starts the music.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Ms. Handel stops the music, and Jessica grins.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Mr. Dominguez: Well done, ladies!

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Jessica: Yeah, the choreography for each of the verses just repeats after that.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Mr. Dominguez: Let’s get the guys in here, and we’ll rehearse for “Somebody That I Used to Know.”

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The camera zooms back through the window in the door and shows five guys huddled around it.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Guy #1: We’re screwed.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Guy #3: No way, they’re not better than us.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Guy #1: Uh, yes, they are. They can dance.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Guy #2: We’re doing a slow number; there’s nothing to worry about.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Guy #1: Okay, you have me there. But those girls can out-sing the girls in our glee club.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Guy #4: He has a point.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Guy #3: They’re messing with your minds. Don’t let them get to you. And come on. We should go before they see us.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The guys turn, and the camera catches a glimpse of their faces.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The Dixie Singer girls are rushing around in a large hotel suite.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Danielle: Has anyone seen my hairbrush?

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Trista: I set my lipstick on that table two minutes ago, and it’s gone.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Ellie: Gabrielle, get off your phone! You need to do your makeup.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Paige: Here’s your lipstick, Trista! I thought it was mine.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Gabrielle: You’re not the boss of me, Ellie.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Jessica: Does my dress look okay?

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Danielle: Oh, I found it!

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Ellie: We need to be in the lobby in ten minutes.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Trista: I bet the guys aren’t rushing around like chickens whose heads were just cut off.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The camera switches to another large hotel suite, where the guys are racing around.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Mr. Dominguez: Eight minutes, guys!

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Miles: Crap, I knew I shouldn’t have just left my shoes sitting there.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Neal: Okay, where did I put my comb?

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Connor: Your hair is a mess.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Neal: Yeah, I know. That’s why I need to find my comb!

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Drew: I can’t get my tie just right!

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Mark: Here, let me help. I’ve been tying my own tie since I was seven.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Mr. Dominguez: Where are Ian and Devin?

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Connor: They went down to the lobby already.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Mark: Yeah, because they were smart and didn’t wait until the last minute to get ready, unlike some people.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Miles: Hey!

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Mr. Dominguez: Don’t start anything, boys!

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Drew: Here’s your comb, Neal.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Mr. Dominguez: Everyone who’s ready needs to head downstairs now. We can’t keep the girls waiting.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The three glee clubs are gathered in the back hallways of an auditorium. Ellie and Devin are sizing up their competition.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Devin: *whispers* That one is the glee club we heard practicing.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Ellie: They’re Nash’s Knights, right?

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Devin: Yeah. It looks like they’re missing a few members, though.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Guy #3: ‘Scuse me, pardon me.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Five guys squeeze past and join Nash’s Knights.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Ellie: Looks like they’re all there now.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Paige: They look familiar.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Ellie: Yeah, that’s what I thought. Especially that curly-haired one.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Drew: Who’s the other glee club we’re up against?

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Danielle: The Troubadours. I don’t think we have much competition.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Ian: Nash’s Knights were good last year, remember?

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Danielle: Eh, they were okay.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Devin: Don’t underestimate them. We’ll get cocky if we do that.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Paige: But don’t we want to know we’ll do better than them?

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Mark: There’s a difference between cockiness and confidence. We have the skills to beat both these glee clubs—that’s confidence—but we need to be humble enough to acknowledge that the judges may think the Troubadours or Nash’s Knights did better.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Ms. Handel and Mr. Dominguez walk over from where they were in a huddle with the other instructors and the judges.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Ms. Handel: All right, guys, we’re up last. Let’s go get seats. We might as well watch the other glee clubs.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">As the Dixie Singers slide into their seats, the lights dim.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Announcer: It’s home court advantage for this team. Nash’s Knights from Nashville Central High School is up!

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The audience applauds. The curtains open, and the lights on the stage are on a warm, cozy setting. Nash’s Knights are gathered in a semi-circle. A couple of the members are holding guitars.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Ian: No, it’s mostly good! I got letters from all of the schools. Two schools rejected me, but three want me to come in for auditions.
