Author’s Note: My creative writing group has recently been doing exercises in point of view perspective writing. This is from the second person point of view, which has very limited applications and not often used. Still, couldn’t you see this being a real TV show?
Are you ready to hear the roar of the crowd and win a valuable record contract?
This new reality show puts you on the stage. As a future rock and roll star, you can sing or play your way straight to the top in a few short weeks.
“What do you have to do?” you ask.
For eight weeks, you will live in the same house with 14 other musicians all vying to be the last one standing on stage when the crowd applauds, creating a new band called the Masters of the Game.
Each week, you will learn a new piece of music at a jam session in the home studio. Watch for tempers to flare when you and your fellow musicians eye each other up to compete for the ultimate prize and the audience’s approval.
You need to impress viewers as they rank you 1,2,3 in your category of proficiency on guitar, drums, bass, keyboard and vocals, as well as looks and personality.
You say “It’s a popularity contest? Yes, you are right.”
Everything counts and the audience is the sole judge.
But watch your back as the other musicians can torpedo your performance in the 2nd weekly do or die challenge when your fellow players choose you to sing or play out of your chosen genre without any practice or music. Hear it once and you must perform.
It’s trial by fire in this premiere contest that will tax your every nerve and ability until
your elimination at a concert in front of 1000 people where they will cut off your sound and boo you off the stage.
We’re looking for a few good players. Are you up to the challenge to be a master?
