"Great job, girls!" Jacob McMicheals said. "Now if you'll just sing that awesome tonight at the show."
"Oh, you know we will." Danielle Bowan said, standing up from her position behind the drums and stretching her arms.
"Yeah well, it better be alot better than last time." he commented.
Darcy, Danielle, and Emma all three turned a little red at the mention of their last show. It had been a total disaster. Darcy had messed up majorly on the keyboards, and her voice had sounded awful. Danielle had dropped her drumstick, and the stage manager had forgotten to put out spares, and Emma had tripped on her guitar cord mid-song, pulling it out of the amplifier. The girls had been very embarrased.
"Jacob, that show was awful, and we learned to double check the stage before shows." Emma said to their manager.
"I'm counting on you." Jacob said, walking backstage.
Emma set her guitar on it's stand, and walked down to the edge of the stage. Danielle and Darcy went to join her.
"Are you guys as nervous as I am?" Darcy asked.
"Of course we are." Danielle said. "I mean, come on, this is the biggest show of the entire tour."
"I can't belive we've actually made it this far." Emma added. "It seems like only yesterday that we were playing for the Mayfest in Georgia, and now, we're here at the Universal Amphitheater."
"I know what you mean." Darcy said.
"Yo, Darcy, Danielle, Emma!" Denny Bowan yelled from the gate to the amphitheater.
"What?" Danielle yelled to her older brother.
"Mom wants you two to come back to the hotel, NOW!" Denny screamed.
"Why?"
"She didn't say why, she just said for me to come get ya'll." Denny said.
"Okay, we'll be there in a minute." Darcy yelled before going backstage to tell Jacob that they were leaving.
The three girls walked over to the gate where Denny was, unlocked it, and headed toward the hotel.
"Shouldn't you guys have hats on?" Denny asked, halfway to the hotel. "What if someone recognizes you? You'll start a mob."
"Nah, it's not like we're Hanson or anything." Darcy said, pushing her long blond hair out of her eyes.
"Whatever you say." Denny said, as they continued toward the hotel.
